Pressure Cooker Chipotle Chicken Pozole Food

PRESSURE COOKER CHIPOTLE-HONEY CHICKEN TACOS

Steps:

• Combine the chicken, chipotles and adobo sauce, honey, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and cumin in an electric pressure cooker. Stir well. Cover and set steam valve to sealed position. Cook on high pressure for 13 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes; then release the remaining pressure manually. Open the lid.
• Remove the chicken to a bowl or cutting board using tongs. Shred the chicken with two forks. If you'd like to reduce the sauce, set to sauté and simmer, 5 minutes. Add the chicken back into the pot.
• Stir in the black beans and a squeeze of lime juice, set to sauté and let the beans warm through, 2 to 3 minutes. Taste and add more salt or lime juice if necessary. Serve in tortillas with pickled onions and avocado.

PRESSURE COOKER CHIPOTLE CHICKEN POZOLE

Steps:

• Using the sauté setting, heat oil in a 6- to 8-quart pressure cooker. Add the onion, season it with salt and cook, stirring often, until the onion is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until slightly softened and fragrant, 2 minutes. Turn the sauté setting off.
• Open the can of chipotles and remove the chiles, leaving as much of the adobo sauce behind as possible. (Scrape the sauce off the chiles with your fingers as best you can.) Set the chiles aside and add the adobo sauce to the pressure cooker. Chop 1 to 4 of the chiles until they are almost a paste. (Determine the number of chiles according to your desired level of heat: 1 chile for a very mild soup and 4 for a very spicy soup.) Add the chiles to the pressure cooker. (Store remaining chiles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 5 days and in the freezer indefinitely.)
• Using the sauté setting, add onion and garlic powders, cumin and oregano to the pressure cooker. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant and heated through, about 1 minute. Stir in the chicken until coated, scraping the bottom of the pan. Add the broth and 1/2 teaspoon salt (but hold off on the salt if you are using fully salted broth.) Close the lid and cook on high pressure for 18 minutes.
• Let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes, then release remaining pressure manually. (If hot liquid spurts out of the knob along with the steam, carefully close it and wait 5 more minutes before releasing remaining pressure.) Using a ladle, skim excess fat from the surface of the soup, if desired.
• Using the sauté setting, coarsely shred the chicken in the pot using 2 forks. Add the corn and the pozole and simmer until warmed through, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the lime juice and taste; add more salt or lime juice if necessary. Serve the soup in bowls with the toppings of choice.

PRESSURE COOKED CHICKEN POSOLE WITH AVOCADO TOMATILLO SALSA

Steps:

• For the chicken: In pressure cooker, combine the chicken, chicken stock, lime juice, garlic, tomatillos, chili powder, oregano, ancho chiles and add some salt and pepper. Cover and cook for 25 minutes on full pressure over high heat.
• Carefully remove the pressure cooker lid. While the pot is still on the stove, add the hominy and cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
• Remove the chicken from the bone and discard the bones. Ladle the pasole in bowls, ensuring that each bowl has a hearty helping of chicken and hominy!
• For the salsa: Combine the tomatoes, avocado, jalapeno, red onion, tomatillo, cilantro, olive oil and lime juice in a large bowl and mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
• Serve the chicken posole with the salsa, diced onion, shredded lettuce and cabbage, a squeeze of lime juice, and any other veggies you may feel inclined to add.

PRESSURE COOKER POZOLE

Steps:

• Set your salted water on to boil in your pressure cooker pot so it can be heating up while you prep your ingredients.
• Cut the pork into bite-size cubes and add to the water in the pressure cooker. Be sure to include any bone(s) from the roast. Add the bay leaves, then put the lid on and bring up to pressure per your cooker's instructions (this might take 20-30 minutes). Once the cooker is up to pressure, turn the heat down a bit until the stopper is rocking gently and set your timer for 10 minutes.
• During all that waiting time, chop your onion, drain and rinse your hominy, open your cans of green chillies, and measure out your seasonings. Read a book. Watch a video on Youtube. Finish tidying up and set the table. Whatever you like, just don't get out of earshot of the cooker's hiss. You want a nice gentle rocking.
• After ten minutes at pressure, take your pressure cooker off the heat, douse it under cold water in your sink until the pressure is released, and open the pot.
• Add the remaining ingredients, being careful not to fill above the max fill line on your cooker. (Take out some pork/stock and set aside if needed to make room for the hominy and onions.) Stir, put the lid back on, and bring back up to pressure (again, 20-30 minutes), and again cook at gently-rocking pressure 7 minutes.
• After 7 minutes at pressure, douse cooker under cold water in your sink until the pressure is released, stir, and adjust any seasonings for taste (it'll be crazy hot so be careful!).
• Serve with a sprinkling of fresh cilantro, and garnish with pico de gallo, avocado slices, and lime wedges. Yum!

INSTANT POT® CHICKEN POZOLE

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Heat oil and add onion and garlic; cook and stir until tender and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add green chilies and tomato paste. Add chili powder, cumin, salt, oregano, and ground chipotle. Add chicken, broth, and cooked hominy. If adding the dried guajillo chile, break in half and shake out the seeds. Either crumble/tear into small pieces or cut into small strips with kitchen scissors.
• Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 14 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes.
• Shred chicken with 2 forks. Add lime juice. Taste and adjust seasonings. Let sit on Warm setting until ready to serve.

CHIPOTLE CHICKEN POSOLE

Steps:

• Place the chicken breasts in a medium size pot. Add in bay leaves and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until chicken is cooked through, approximately 15 minutes.
• Remove chicken from water and reserve the cooking liquid. When chicken is cool enough to handle, shred with 2 forks. Set aside.
• In a 4 qt dutch oven heat the olive oil. When warm add in chopped onion and garlic. Cook stirring frequently until onion is wilted and begins to brown lightly. Add in the minced chipotle, tomatoes, hominy, reserved cooking liquid and about 2 cups of chicken stock.
• Crush the oregano and add to the pot along with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a gently boil, cover and simmer for 20 minutes to allow flavors to meld adding additional stock as needed.
