The Fast Chicken Recipe in the West!
I often try to pack 36 hours into a 24 hour day. Which means I often drop the ball. Usually it’s laundry, but occasionally even dinner plans get overlooked. By me. My husband and kids never forget about what I have planned to make. And when I try to do a Jedi mind trick and tell them they want peanut butter sandwiches, they respond with, “Jedi mind tricks don’t work on me”. Fortunately I have another trick up my sleeve that does work: my beloved pressure cooker!
I discovered that I could create flavorful, fork-tender chicken in the pressure cooker when I tried making Barbecued Chicken in the pressure cooker. So the last time I was in a jam, I tried creating a Southwest version. I was very pleased with the results and will probably be using this method in the future. It is fast, easy, and yields the tenderest chicken you have ever had.
