INSTANT POT CHICKEN PAPRIKASH

Steps:

• Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in the Instant Pot in the Saute mode. When the oil is hot, add the chicken, skin side down, and cook for about 8 minutes, until the skin is nicely crispy. Flip the chicken and cook for another 6 minutes or so until the bottom of the chicken is nicely browned (it should not be cooked through). Remove the chicken to a plate.
• Add the onion. Sauté for about 3 minutes, until soft and golden brown. Stir in the garlic and sauté for another minute. Stir in the flour and the paprika, as well as the additional paprika if using, until is all well incorporated into the oil, one more minute. Stir in the bay leaves, tomatoes, and broth.
• Return the partially cooked chicken to the liquid, skin side up. Close and lock the lid. Set the valve to Sealing. Press Cancel, then press Manual or Pressure Cook and use the Pressure Level Button to select high pressure. Set the timer for 20 minutes. Note that the timer will not start to count down until the correct pressure has been achieved.
• When the Instant Pot beeps, press Cancel. Let the pressure come down slowly for 10 minutes. Release the sealing valve, and let the rest of the steam escape. Meanwhile, place the cooked egg noodles in a shallow serving bowl or platter. Open the pot, and use tongs to place the chicken on the noodles. Remove the bay leaves from the sauce, and stir in the sour cream. Spoon the sauce over the chicken, and sprinkle the dish with parsley.

PRESSURE COOKER CHICKEN KORMA

Steps:

• Heat cream in a microwave or in a small pot on the stove, then add the saffron. Set it aside for 2 hours to draw out the saffron color.
• Season chicken generously with salt and pepper. Set the sauté setting on the electric pressure cooker to high. Add in oil; wait a few seconds and stir in the golden raisins. When they're plump (it will only take a few seconds), transfer them with a slotted spoon to a small bowl.
• Add almonds into the oil. Stir. Once they're golden, 30 seconds to 1 minute, transfer them with the slotted spoon and to the bowl with the raisins.
• Add cardamom pods and cinnamon stick. Brown chicken, 2 to 3 pieces at a time, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer them as they're finished to a bowl or plate. Repeat with remaining chicken.
• Stir onions into the pot and cook until starting to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in ginger and garlic, and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in coriander and cumin. Add a few tablespoons of water and scrape up what you can from the bottom of the pot.
• Return all the chicken pieces and their liquid to the pot. Stir in yogurt, 1 tablespoon at a time. Stir in 1 1/4 teaspoon salt, chile powder and 1/2 cup water.
• Cover and cook at low pressure for 6 minutes, then release the pressure manually.
• Remove the lid, then turn on the sauté function on low. Cover with the glass lid or loosely with the regular lid, and simmer gently to meld the flavors, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Stir in garam masala and saffron cream; taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve garnished with the raisins and almonds.

HUNGARIAN CHICKEN PAPRIKASH

Steps:

• 1. If you have a pressure cooker, use it. If you dont, a regular big old pot will work just as well.
• 2. Place the oil and chopped onion in a big pot. Cook over medium/high heat until translucent. (You don't want them brown, just tender.) Take off heat. Add the paprika. Mix it well.
• 3. Put chicken parts in the pot and brown slightly with the onion/paprika mixture. (Do it in batches if you have to and add additional oil in small amounts if needed.) NOTE: I buy a whole chicken and cut it up myself. Make sure the chicken pieces you use are whole with the skin intact. It adds to the flavor.
• 4. Add water to almost cover chicken. Bring to a boil, and add chicken bullion cubes (a good rule is don't cube for every one cup of water... just eyeball it). Also, add the Lawry's seasoning salt (if available). Not necessary, but to me, is the secret ingredient. Grandma didn't tell us about that until we saw her add it one day! ;) Cover and simmer for 25 minutes with a regular pot, or about 15-20 minutes with a pressure cooker.
• 5. While the chicken is simmering, mix the sour cream, water, and flour together with a hand mixer or a Kitchen-Aid mixer. Whip it very smooth and set aside.
• 6. When the chicken is done, remove the chicken pieces to a colander to cool. Slowly add the sour cream mixture, a little bit at a time to the broth, stirring constantly to incorporate into the broth. OPTIONAL: You can de-bone the chicken or leave the pieces intact. I spoil everyone by skinning and de-boning it and adding it back to the sauce. Grandma always served the chicken pieces separate on a dish and whole. It is up to you how you like it. I always just went for the sauce over dumplings when I was a kid! ;)
• 7. FOR THE DUMPLINGS: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. In a mixer combine eggs, water, and flour and salt. Mix together to form a soupy dough. When water is boiling, scrape the dough into the water a spoonful at a time. This is easier if you dip the spoon onto the boiling water so the dough will not stick to the spoon. After you scrape the dough into the boiling water, they should cook for about 7 minutes. When they rise to the surface, they are done. Drain and rinse. It makes a lot of dumplings! But that is ok, they will be gone in no time!
• 8. Serve up a big helping of dumplings and pour sauce over them. Serve with the whole chicken pieces, or if you de-bone it, it will be placed in the sauce.
• 9. One of my favorite childhood memories is triggered when I make this recipe. All of my senses come alive... truly a wonderful comforting food!

INSTANT POT CHICKEN PAPRIKASH STEW

Steps:

• Turn the pressure cooker on. Press the Sauté function key (it will show Normal, 30 minutes).
• Add the onion, butter, olive oil and salt and cook for 5 minutes with the lid off. Stir a few times.
• Add the diced chicken and cook for another minute or two together, stirring a few times. Add paprika and garlic and stir through, then add the chicken stock, tomato paste and crème fraîche or sour cream. Stir through.

Change the setting to Manual (High Pressure) and set the timer for 12 minutes. After 3 beeps the Instant Pot will start to build up the pressure and the cooking will begin.
• Once the time is up, let the pressure release naturally or use a quick release method, and open the lid.
• Add the peas and press Sauté. Cook for 5 minutes with the lid off, stirring a few times. This will evaporate some of the liquid and thicken the sauce.
• After 5 minutes, scoop 1/4 cup of the sauce liquid into a small bowl and add the arrowroot flour (corn flour is also okay). Whisk to dissolve. Turn the Instant Pot to OFF and then stir in the arrowroot liquid and another tablespoon of crème fraîche/sour cream. This will further thicken the sauce.

• Turn on a 6- to 8-quart electric pressure cooker and select the sauté setting (on the more, or hot, setting, if you have it). Add the vegetable oil, then half of the mushrooms. Season with salt, and brown for about 5 minutes, stirring once or twice. Remove the first batch of mushrooms and place on a plate. Add a little more oil if the pot is dry, and brown the second batch the same way, seasoning with salt and transferring the mushrooms to the plate when done.
• Add the butter to the pot, then the onion. Season with salt and cook for 2 minutes, stirring, until the onion just begins to soften. Add the garlic, and cook for 1 minute more, until the garlic is fragrant. Add the sweet and smoked paprikas; stir well to combine the spices with the onion. Add the wine and carefully scrape up all the browned bits on the bottom of the pot with a spatula. Add the vegetable stock, then the potatoes and mushrooms, along with any accumulated liquid on the plate. Season generously with black pepper. Turn off the sauté setting. Close the lid and twist the pressure knob to seal. Cook on high pressure for 2 minutes.
• Turn off the pressure cooker and quick-release the pressure by carefully turning the pressure knob to venting. While the steam releases, combine the sour cream with the flour in a medium bowl. Uncover the pot and stir in the crushed tomatoes. Whisk a few ladlefuls of the hot liquid into the sour cream mixture. Add the sour cream mixture and the herbs to the pot. Stir well, and adjust the texture of the stew with up to ½ cup of water if it is too thick for your taste. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if you like.
