Instant Pot Puerto Rican Pollo Guisado Or Chicken Stewed Food

INSTANT POT ESTOFADO DE POLLO (PUERTO RICAN-STYLE CHICKEN STEW)

Steps:

• Select the sauté function on the pressure cooker (if using an electric pressure cooker; for stovetop pressure cookers, heat over a burner on medium-high heat). Heat the olive oil in the pot.
• Add the chicken to the pot and cook for 4 minutes on each side. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
• Add the wine and vinegar to the pot, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes. Press cancel or turn off the burner.
• Add the tomato sauce to the pot and stir until well mixed. Stir in the potatoes, onion, olives, garlic, capers, and salt. Return the chicken to the pot and spoon some of the sauce over the top of the chicken.
• Close and lock the pressure cooker lid, make sure the pressure/steam-release switch is set to sealing, and set the cooking time to 10 minutes at high/normal pressure (if using an electric pressure cooker; for stovetop pressure cookers, heat over a burner on high heat, set a timer for 10 minutes after the pot has reached pressure, then reduce the heat to low). It will take about 11 minutes for the pot to come to pressure before the cooking time begins.
• After the pressure cooking time ends, electric pressure cookers will automatically turn off their heat (stovetop pressure cookers must be removed from the heat). Allow the pressure to release from the pot naturally for 5 minutes before releasing the remaining pressure using the manufacturer's quick-release method.
• Open the lid and select the sauté function on the pot again. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, then press cancel or turn off the burner.
