PRESSURE COOKER PAELLA WITH CHICKEN THIGHS AND SMOKED SAUSAGE



Pressure Cooker Paella with Chicken Thighs and Smoked Sausage image

This is a no-seafood paella, flavored completely with chicken and smoked sausage. The recipe uses chicken thighs, which can be browned (as dictated by the recipe) to draw out the deliciousness from the skin, or cooked within the paella mixture for a lighter flavor. Either way, a super delicious dish made quickly in a pressure cooker.

Time 1h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons olive oil
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
salt to taste
6 ounces smoked sausage, diced
1 medium sweet onion (such as Vidalia®), diced
1 red bell pepper, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ cups medium-grain white rice
1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika
1 ½ teaspoons ground turmeric
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 pinch saffron
¼ cup dry sherry
2 ¾ cups chicken broth
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes
½ cup frozen peas

Steps:

  • Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add olive oil and warm for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Season chicken thighs with salt. Place chicken skin-side down in the oil. Cook until skin is golden, 4 to 6 minutes. Slide a spatula underneath several times to prevent skin from sticking to the pot. Turn and cook until other side is lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer chicken thighs to a plate.
  • Add sausage, onion, and bell pepper to the pot. Saute until onion is softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add rice, paprika, turmeric, cayenne, and saffron. Stir constantly until spices are aromatic and rice becomes translucent and shiny.
  • Pour in sherry and cook until absorbed, about 1 minute. Cover ingredients with chicken broth. Scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the pot. Turn off Saute setting and place chicken thighs on top of the rice. Turn pressure regulator to sealing position; select Manual and set cooking time for 12 minutes at high pressure. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure using the natural-release method for 10 minutes according to manufacturer's instructions. Turn pressure regular to 'venting' and release remaining pressure. Remove lid, take out chicken thighs, and pour in tomatoes and peas. Mix well.
  • Switch to Saute mode and cook until liquid is mostly evaporated, 3 to 5 minutes more. Top each serving of rice with a chicken thigh.

PRESSURE COOKER BARBEQUE CHICKEN

This chicken dish is incredibly easy to make and very delicious. It's a childhood favorite of my partner's; his mom served it with rice and green beans for an easy weekday meal. Feel free to add other hot sauce or spices to jazz it up. Frank's RedHot® sauce is a great addition.

PRESSURE-COOKER COLA BBQ CHICKEN



Pressure-Cooker Cola BBQ Chicken image

This recipe is really easy, and the sauce is filled with sweet smoky deliciousness. It is not a thick sauce, but you can easily put a little more on the top of each sandwich if you'd like. The meat is juicy and tender, and I enjoy adding a few tasty toppings to my sandwiches: sliced dill pickles and slices of pepper jack cheese. This recipe is for a pressure cooker, but it also can be made in the slow cooker-just cook on low for 8 hours. -Ashley Lecker, Green Bay, Wisconsin
