Preparation
Chef’s notes
Use different seasonings:
In place of the paprika/garlic powder blend, feel free to instead use a few teaspoons of
Use frozen chicken:
To use frozen instead of fresh (thawed) chicken, just add 2 extra minutes to the high pressure cook time.
Add a bay leaf:
I always love the extra flavor of bay leaf with chicken, too. Just nestle one bay leaf in with the chicken, then discard after cooking.
Add diced tomatoes:
If you would like to mix some diced tomatoes into the chicken, just add in 1 (15-ounce) can of diced tomatoes with their juices and use 2/3 cup (instead of 1 cup) chicken stock.
