Fall-Off-The-Bone Pressure Cooker Chicken (in 30 Minutes!)
When you hear “pressure cooker chicken” you may think of your mother’s (or grandmother’s) cooking… and possibly even stories of exploding pots yielding ceiling stains (or worse, burns). But cooking with today’s pressure cookers is much different. While they still yield super-fast, ultra-moist results, the safety issues that sometimes occurred with early-generation pressure cookers have been resolved. Used properly, the pressure cookers of today are no more dangerous than any other tool or appliance in your kitchen.
The pressure cooker chicken recipe below could not be simpler or more flavorful. There’s no advance preparation, no brining or basting. And in the short time it cooks, you’ll have just enough time to make your sides. A nice dark leafy green organic salad and maybe some mashed sweet potatoes or cauliflower mashers round out the meal perfectly.
Another benefit of using a pressure cooker is the amount (and quality) of gelatin it yields. From this recipe, I typically get up to 4 cups of nutrient-rich, gut-healing gelatin that makes the perfect base for just about any soup, or sipping warm with a little lemon.
