A host of great, light meals can evolve from chicken and other poultry when prepared in the pressure cooker. Be it a tender fillet
with a delightful, light sauce or a savory casserole with a host of nutritious vegetables, you’ll find the pressure cooker is perfect
for preparing your favorites in a hurry.
Try the following recipes and enjoy tasty poultry in a variety of ways or prepare your own favorite poultry dishes. It’s not necessary
to brown poultry before pressure cooking, but you may do so if you like. Searing tends to seal in the natural juices, while cook-
ing without browning lets the flavor of the various ingredients intermingle for some spectacular taste combinations. For crispier
chicken, you may want to put the chicken under the broiler for a few minutes after pressure cooking.
