Pressure Cooker Garlic Chicken And Broccoli Recipes

Steps:

• In a 4- or 5-qt. slow cooker, combine chicken, broccoli, carrots, water chestnuts and garlic. In a large bowl, mix next 7 ingredients; pour over chicken mixture. Cook, covered, on low until chicken and broccoli are tender, 3-4 hours., Remove chicken and vegetables; keep warm. Strain cooking juices into a small saucepan; skim fat. Bring juices to a boil. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth; stir into cooking juices. Return to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Serve with chicken, vegetables and hot cooked rice., Freeze option: Place chicken and vegetables in freezer containers; top with sauce. Cool and freeze. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Microwave, covered, on high in a microwave-safe dish until heated through, stirring gently; add broth or water if necessary.

Steps:

• Season the chicken generously all over with salt and pepper. Turn on the sauté setting of a 6- to 8-quart electric pressure cooker and warm the oil. Add the chicken, skin-side down, and sear until the skin is browned and releases easily from the pot, 6 to 8 minutes. (If you have more than 4 thighs, you may need to do this in two batches.) Using tongs, remove the chicken.
• Add the garlic and sauté, stirring constantly, until just softened, about 2 minutes. Add the red-pepper flakes, and toast, stirring constantly, about 30 seconds, then add the white wine and vinegar. Stir well, scraping up all the browned bits. Turn off the sauté setting.
• Stir in the beans and thyme. Season lightly with salt and generously with pepper. Nestle the chicken thighs on top, skin-side up. Cook on high pressure for 12 minutes.
• Allow the pressure to reduce naturally for 10 minutes, then release the remaining pressure manually. Squeeze in the lemon juice and fold in the scallions and parsley. Serve the beans and chicken in shallow bowls.
