Best Mandarin Chicken 25 Qt Pressure Cooker Recipes

MANDARIN CHICKEN - 2.5-QT. PRESSURE COOKER

Mandarin Chicken - 2.5-Qt. Pressure Cooker image

Entered for safe-keeping, adapted from fastcooking.ca (which promotes Fagor pressure cookers). The pressure cooking time is for a fast 15 psi pressure cooker. For a 12 psi cooker, add about 20% more time. For T-Fal, WMF, Chef's Design, electronic pressure cookers, the 8 psi pressure Lagostina Endura, low cost "no name" pressure cookers and other pressure cookers that are less than 15 pounds (psi) pressure, add additional time per your pressure cooker manual. I estimate that a 2.5-quart pressure cooker would be large enough to cook this.

Oranges and olives are elegantly paired in this different but delicious dish. The chicken is marinated, then cooked slowly in a flavorful sauce, so it stays moist. -Aney Chatterson, Soda Springs, Idaho
