Many chicken recipes found in cookbooks and online are not developed specifically for pressure cooker or Instant Pot preparation. Trying to convert those chicken recipes to be cooked in a pressure cooker or Instant Pot can be a little tricky. Often beginners use a longer cook time than necessary resulting in overcooked chicken.
The good news is, all of the recipes I share on Pressure Cooking Today are thoroughly tested before they’re shared with you. If the instructions are followed as written, this assures that the recipes you make from this site will end up tasting delicious.
All of the recipes I share on Pressure Cooking Today can be prepared in an electric or stove top pressure cooker. Including electric multi cookers, such as the Fagor LUX, Cuisinart, Power Pressure Cooker XL, or Instant Pot.
Tips for preparing chicken recipes in a pressure cooker:
- Should your chicken go swimming? When making soups, stews, or chili, submerging the chicken completely in liquid during the cooking process is fine. If possible, use a cooking trivet or a steamer basket for chicken recipes when the desired end result is steamed or gently cooked chicken.
- Don’t over cook your chicken. Nobody likes rubbery or tough chicken, so I recommend finding a similar recipe that uses the same cut of chicken. Then follow the directions and cook time in that recipe, and substitute your preferred ingredients.
