This dish is super tasty and simple, if you love super tender chicken then you are going to love this dish. It combine protein, vegetables and carbohydrates all in one pot.
Ingredients:
- 400g diced chicken
- 4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and chopped
- 2 medium-sized carrots, peeled and chopped
- 1/2 medium-sized red capsicum, chopped
- 1 packet of slow cooker lamb flavor packet (don’t worry, it works beautifully with chicken too!)
Ingredient Substitutes:
- If you don’t have chicken, you can use beef or pork instead
- Swap out the potatoes for sweet potatoes or parsnips
- Use any colour bell pepper you like, or add in some chopped onions for extra flavour
- If you can’t find a lamb flavor packet, you can use a chicken or vegetable flavor packet instead
How to Make the Recipe:
- Place the chicken pieces in the pressure cooker on sauté mode. (I used frozen chicken as I didn’t pre plan, so just allow enough time to cook the chicken through). Cook the chicken until it’s slightly browned.
- Place the rest of the ingredients into your pressure cooker.
- Pour in enough water to cover the ingredients (I don’t fully cover the ingredients otherwise it can be a bit watery but you need enough water for it to not burn), then add the contents of the lamb flavor packet and stir to mix it all together.
- Close the lid and cook on poultry setting or for 10-15 minutes, make sure the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are tender.
- Serve hot.
Tips for Cooking it Well:
- If you prefer tender carrots but big chunks of potato make sure the time is adjusted to cook the potatoes through, just be aware if vegetables are chopped smaller they might get mushy.
- If you’re new to pressure cooking, make sure to read the manual and follow all safety precautions.
- Experiment with different flavor packets or spices to find the combination you like best.
Suggested Foods to Serve with it:
- A crusty loaf of bread or some warm, fluffy naan
- A simple green salad or some roasted vegetables
- Some creamy mashed potatoes (if you want to go all out on the carbs!)
- A side of steamed broccoli or green beans for a burst of freshness
- A large dollop of your favorite yogurt, I like full cream yogurt.
This is the packet I used and it tasted so good!
