Today’s post is a guest post from Nicole, Heat Oven to 350\u00ba<\/a>.\u00a0Nicole uses\u00a0a Fagor 6 quart Multicooker. She lives in Utah with her student husband and 8 month old daughter, Amelia. She loves to eat, so she learned to cook. Between working and taking care of Amelia the things she cooks have gotten much faster and simpler. Using a pressure cooker helps her create the fast, simple, delicious meals her family loves.<\/em><\/p>\n

I got an electric pressure cooker a couple years ago for Christmas and it is one of my favorite kitchen appliances, though I wasn’t sure about it at first. I had never seen one in use before and the first time I heard it hissing I ducked under the counter and sat there for a minute waiting for it to explode. I might have even army crawled my way out of the kitchen until it was done cooking.<\/p>\n

It only took one use for me to become hooked on it, though. It’s a great way to save time and done right, pressure cooked food is amazing. Both my sisters, my mom and my sister-in-law now own pressure cookers. Since we love to share good recipes, when I found Barbara’s site here I immediately e-mailed them all to let them know. I’m so excited to be able to share a recipe of my own today.<\/p>\n

Making\u00a0Simple Chicken Cacciatore in an Instant Pot<\/h2>\n

An Instant Pot is one of the most popular brands of electric pressure cookers. They are easy to use and your Instant Pot can help you create this Simple Chicken Cacciatore!<\/p>\n

This recipe has been floating around my family for a few years. Until a few days ago we had just been calling it, “Braised Chicken Thighs with Tomatoes and Peppers.” It was only while stumbling across another recipe that I realized it was really a simplified chicken cacciatore. The beauty of this recipe is how simple and easy it is.<\/p>\n

The one thing I didn’t like about it was the long simmering time to braise the chicken and concentrate the sauce. It seemed like a perfect recipe to adapt to the pressure cooker since the braising would be done more quickly and in the pressure cooker you can use less liquid so the sauce is more concentrated automatically.<\/p>\n

The end result is a deliciously moist chicken in a wonderful tomato sauce with chunks of tomatoes and green peppers. We serve ours over rice, but you can also serve it over pasta if you prefer.<\/p>\n
