CHICKEN CACCIATORE (PRESSURE COOKER)



Chicken Cacciatore (Pressure Cooker) image

Modified from "Pressure Perfect" by Lorna Sass. I got a pressure cooker last Christmas and until yesterday, it was still sitting in the box. I vowed to use it before this Christmas, and this was the first thing I made in it. I made a few substitutions based on what I had on hand, and I was so happy with the results. Serve with rice, pasta or potatoes.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon olive oil
3 shallots, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 medium green bell pepper, seeded and finely diced
1/2 cup white wine (not cooking wine)
10 ounces mushrooms, sliced
3 lbs bone-in skinless chicken breast halves or 3 lbs skinless chicken thighs
2 cups crushed tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 (6 ounce) can pitted black olives or 1 (6 ounce) can kalamata olives, drained
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
1/8-1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese or 1/2 cup romano cheese
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a 4-quart or larger cooker. Add the shallots and bell pepper and cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the shallots soften slightly, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the wine and boil until about half evaporates. Scrape up any browned bits sticking to the bottom of the cooker.
  • Stir in the mushrooms and garlic. Set the chicken on top. Cover the chicken with crushed tomatoes. Do not stir. Plop the tomato paste on top.
  • Lock the lid in place.
  • Over high heat bring to high pressure. Reduce the heat just enough to maintain high pressure and cook for 8 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat.
  • Allow the pressure to come down naturally. Remove the lid, tilting it away from you to allow steam to escape.
  • Stir in the olives, parsley, red pepper flakes, cheese, and salt and pepper, to taste.

PRESSURE COOKER CHICKEN CACCIATORE



Pressure Cooker Chicken Cacciatore image

I modified this recipe from one I found in Lorna Sass's book, "Pressure Perfect." Tomato sauce has a high sugar content,and it burns easily. I find it's a good idea not to let tomato sauce come in contact with the bottom of the pressure cooker. I just add the cooked vegetables to the pressure cooker, then the chicken, and then the pasta sauce, without stirring.
