Pressure Cooker Salsa Verde Chicken Food

PRESSURE COOKER SALSA VERDE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Add the chicken, salsa verde, canned chiles, chopped garlic, jalapeño, garlic powder, onion powder and cumin to a 6- to 8-quart electric pressure cooker; stir to combine. (Don't add salt yet, as many jarred salsas are high in sodium.) Close the lid and turn the pressure knob to sealed. Cook on high pressure for 8 minutes.
• Turn off the pressure cooker and allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then release the remaining pressure manually. Open the lid. If you would like to reduce the sauce, remove the chicken with a slotted spoon to a bowl and turn on the simmer function; let the sauce bubble for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to thicken. Add the chicken back into the pot if you have removed it. Use two forks to coarsely shred the chicken. Stir in the scallions and cilantro. Taste, and season with salt and lime juice.
• Serve in bowls, alone or with rice, or in tortillas, with desired toppings.

EASY INSTANT POT SALSA VERDE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Add oil to the bottom of the Instant Pot (or electric pressure cooker). Select the "Sauté" setting and choose high heat. When the oil is hot and shimmering, add the garlic and stir it around the pot for 10 seconds. Pour in salsa verde and cook until warmed through. Taste the salsa and season with salt if needed. Cancel the 'Sauté' function.
• Nestle the chicken into the warmed salsa then secure the lid. Select the "Pressure Cook" or "Manual" function and cook on high pressure for 8 minutes. Note that the timer will not start until there is enough pressure inside the pot so the timer may not start for a few minutes.
• When the cook time is up, do not immediately open the lid and instead let the pressure naturally release for about 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, release the remaining pressure by using the quick release button (be careful to keep your hands and face away from the venting steam).
• Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and use two forks to shred it (you can also do this in the in the pot itself). Stir the shredded chicken, sour cream and the cilantro into the salsa verde sauce. Serve over rice, cooked grains or in tortillas.

PRESSURE-COOKED SALSA VERDE PORK AND RICE

Steps:

• Place pork cubes in a medium bowl. Add oregano, cumin, salt, coriander, and pepper and toss to coat meat evenly.
• Rinse rice with cold water through a fine mesh strainer and drain.
• Add 1 teaspoon oil to an oven-safe bowl that will fit inside your pressure cooker. Place rice and salt in the bowl. Add 1 3/4 cups plus 1 tablespoon water and set aside.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 6-quart electric pressure cooker using the Saute mode on high heat. Cook pork in batches until lightly browned, 5 to 6 minutes per batch. Turn cooker off. Add salsa verde and stir to combine evenly.
• Place a tall trivet inside the pressure cooker for the rice to sit on top of the pork. Place the bowl of uncooked rice on the trivet. Lock the lid and set the valve to 'Seal.' Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 24 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.
• Unlock and remove the lid. Remove the bowl of rice using oven mitts. Let cool slightly and stir in cilantro and lime juice.
• Set the pressure cooker to Saute mode on medium heat. Cook until sauce is thickened, if desired, 8 to 10 minutes. Divide rice between 6 storage containers; spoon the pork and sauce on top. Refrigerate until ready to eat.
