Chicken Stew Pressure Cooker
Ingredients:
– 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into chunks
– 1 onion, diced
– 2 carrots, sliced
– 2 celery stalks, chopped
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup potatoes, diced
– 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
– 3 cups chicken broth
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Instructions:
1. Start by seasoning the chicken chunks with salt and pepper. Turn on your pressure cooker to the sauté function and heat the olive oil. Add the chicken and sear until browned on all sides, then transfer to a plate and set aside.
2. In the same pot, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for a few minutes until the veggies start to soften. Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3. Sprinkle the flour over the veggies and stir well to coat. This will help thicken the stew later on. Pour in the chicken broth and stir, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits.
4. Add the diced potatoes, diced tomatoes (with their juice), dried thyme, and dried rosemary to the pot. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
5. Return the seared chicken pieces to the pot and give everything a good stir to combine. Close the lid of the pressure cooker and set the valve to sealing.
6. Cook on high pressure for 8 minutes. Once the cooking time is up, do a quick release of the pressure according to your pressure cooker’s instructions.
7. Carefully open the lid away from you once the pressure has fully released. Give the stew a final stir and taste for seasoning, adjusting if necessary.
Serve the delicious Chicken Stew Pressure Cooker hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. This flavorful and comforting dish is perfect for cooler evenings and is sure to become a family favorite. Enjoy the tender chicken, hearty vegetables, and rich broth that come together in this easy and satisfying recipe. It’s a cozy meal that will warm both your body and soul.
