Best Pressure Cooker Whole Chicken Recipes
PRESSURE COOKER WHOLE CHICKEN
I've fallen in love with my pressure cooker and was anxious to try this. It's now my new favorite way to prepare a whole chicken. This recipe is a combination of ideas I found online, and you certainly could use any seasonings you want. The chicken turns out somewhere between roasted & stewed, and is delicous, tasty & moist. I served it with brown rice tossed with some dried basil & moistened with some of the juice from the chicken. You can have a real feast in 45 mins. tops!

PRESSURE COOKER: WHOLE CHICKEN WITH VEGETABLES, AND PASTA
This is a delicious meal-in-a-pot that's ready in less than an hour. The cooker does all the work except for prep, so don't be concerned about the time. This hearty stew tastes and looks long-cooked, a real husband-pleaser :-). Note: I developed this recipe for the Wolfgang Puck 6-quart electronic pressure cooker that used to be sold on HSN (Home Shopping Network on TV). I'm sure it would be quite easy to adapt for stove-top pressure cookers or other brands of electronic ones. Enjoy!
