Pressure Cooker Chicken Leg Recipe

Pressure Cooker Chicken Legs

Prior to a pressure cooker showing up on my doorstep, I didn’t know much about them. I poked around the internet and asked some knowledgeable foodie friends for input. But ultimately, I couldn’t get the “I can cook a turkey!” advertisement I saw on the Power Pressure Cooker website out of my head. Not in need of an entire turkey, I decided my first take should be with a whole chicken.

I started simply with some broth, seasoning, and careful reading of instructions. I say careful because pressure, steam, and the heftiness of the lid felt a little intimidating at first. But the list of instructions was short and clear {the way they should be!} and after I pushed the time adjustment button, I felt like a pro.

I was blown away that a chicken that would ordinarily take over 90 minutes in the oven was ready in a mere 30. And in that 30 minutes, the meat was even more tender than the 90 minute version. Within a week, I’d go on to make wayyy more pressure cooker chicken dinners than anticipated and decide that the pressure cooker earned a permanent spot on the kitchen counter.

The pressure cooker chicken recipe below is perfect for nights that you don’t have 90 minutes to spare or didn’t have the foresight to fire up the slow cooker earlier in the day. And after you make chicken in the pressure cooker, you just might not go back to the oven or slow cooker versions again!

Things I love about the Power Pressure Cooker:

  • Requires minimal preparation
  • Cooks tender meat quickly
  • Uses a small amount of broth
  • Cleans easily {light, removable pot}
  • Uses less electricity

Things I don’t love about the Power Pressure Cooker:

  • Size – I requested the 10 quart size so I could cook whole birds. If you’re short on space, stick with the 6 or 8 quart sizes.

Although I received compensation to review the Power Pressure Cooker, the opinions in this post are completely my own and based on my experience.

Sweet Potatoes With Garlic & Basil Compound Butter

April 10, 2016 by Kristin

Sweet Potato with Garlic Basil Butter

Sweet potatoes are one of those foods that don’t take a ton of effort to go from good to great.  Take the time to oil and salt the skin.  Take the time to pop them in the oven.  And while that’s all happening, why not spend a few minutes of that time mixing up compound butter with fresh garlic and basil?

Basil Garlic Compound Butter

I picked up a basil plant at the grocery a few weeks ago and, although it’s almost naked, managed to find four decently sized leaves to chop.  I crushed a couple cloves of garlic and found that I’d taken care of all the hard tasks.  Making compound butter is a chore that barely takes minutes and is so worth the reward.

Compound Butter - Garlic Basil

Garlic and basil compound butter went wonderfully with sweet potatoes but would also make white potatoes, steaks, and seafood extra delicious!

Pineapple Wrapped Halibut & Chipotle Peppers

Chipotle & Pineapple Halibut 2

Twice this week and probably eighteen times this year, the same gentleman in the Whole Foods seafood department has helped me with a seafood selection.  I walked away today feeling ridiculous that I don’t know his name.  Next time I’ll be in less of a hurry and will take the time to ask.  Especially since he took the time to inspire this dish.

Chipotle & Pineapple Halibut 3

The pre-made pineapple wrapped fish at Whole Foods has always caught my attention.  But since I have an aversion to pre-prepared things, I insisted on making my own.  When I told Mr. Whole Foods Seafood Man {wouldn’t it be so much easier if I knew his name?} about my plan, he, with excitement, said that if I was going to make my own I should definitely use chipotle peppers because chipotle and pineapple are meant for one another.

Chipotle & Pineapple Halibut

He was right.  I was surprised by how much chipotle and pineapple flavor the fish soaked up while broiling. But I wasn’t surprised at how well sweet pineapple and spicy, smoky chipotle paired.  It was so delicious I ate both pieces.  In one sitting.

Two Ingredient Dinner: Sausage & Broccoli

June 21, 2015 by Kristin

Sausage & Broccoli 2

If you follow FoodFash on Instagram, you’re likely to have seen a hot Italian sausage and broccoli appearance at least three {possibly ten} times.  It’s two ingredients, super quick to prepare, and really, really inexpensive {like less than 3 bucks per serving cheap}.

Hot Italian Sausage

I strongly encourage using a high quality sausage that’s seasoned really well since this seasoning will carry over to the entire dish.  If you live near a Whole Foods, the bulk hot Italian sausage in their meat department is my favorite.

Sausage & Broccoli

Quickness and cost aside, I mostly enjoy this recipe because it tastes pepperoni-esque and encourages the consumption of a lot, a lot of broccoli.  It’s an extra fulfilling, feel good meal – aren’t those the best kind?
