BOURBON CHICKEN THIGHS - PRESSURE COOKER RECIPE

BOURBON CHICKEN THIGHS

DINNER AT HOME

Getting pretty comfortable using the Pressure Cooker thanks to Bob Warden's Great Food Fast Cookbook.  The recipes are easy to follow and yield some really good food.  This recipe was not a big hit with the family but I liked the flavor of the chicken.  It came out super moist.  The Bourbon Glaze did not come out as expected and this is probably because I did not have Chili Sauce and substituted Sambal Oelek Chili Paste.  My sauce did not thicken as shown in the photo below.

Served the Bourbon Chicken on a bed of Risotto that was also cooked in the pressure cooker.

Once again went to my Bob Warden's Great Food Fast Cookbook and looked for a recipe that I could do without having to go to the store and buy stuff.  We had some large Chicken Breasts so I looked in the Chicken section of the cookbook.  Found the Stuffed Chicken Breast recipe and then checked our pantry to see what I could use to stuff the chicken.  Was surprised to find Olive Tapenade and Roasted Peppers that were part of a gift basket that we received probably a year or two ago.  Perfect for this dish I thought.  The recipe is pretty simple to follow.  I had a bit of trouble trying to turn the chicken breasts after they browned on one side.  I paired the Chicken Breasts with some Orzo Pasta and Carrots glazed in butter and honey.  The only thing that I would change doing this dish again would be to add some type of sauce over the chicken.  It was a bit dry and needed a sauce to really make this great.  You may buy the Bob Warden cookbook on Amazon via the link below:

DINNER AT HOME

Trying hard to keep it healthy and drop some pounds before the Holidays.  Wanted to use ingredients that we had in the house without going to the store.  Found another quick and easy recipe in the Bob Warden "Great Food Fast" Cookbook.  If you have a Pressure Cooker and want some great recipes I highly recommend you check Amazon for this cookbook.  Pretty much every recipe that I have prepared from Bob Warden's book have been really good and super fast and easy.  This recipe was no exception.  The Sweet Onion Teriyaki Chicken was sweet and delicious.  Loved the sauce and so did my daughter.  She finished her entire plate with a smile.  I placed the chicken under the broiler after pressure cooking.  This may have dried the chicken out a bit.  Other than that no complaints.

DINNER AT HOME 

I am totally sold on my new Pressure Cooker. Could not believe the flavor and fall off the bone texture of ribs cooked in the cooker for only 15 minutes.  I followed the very simple recipe in Bob Warden's Pressure Cooker Book called Great Food Fast.  You simply place dry rub on the ribs, pop them in the pressure cooker with some chicken stock and ketchup.  Cook for 15 minutes and they are done.  Add some bbq sauce and grill or heat in oven for around 20 minutes.  We were skeptical that the meat would fall off the bone, but it did.  The ribs were moist and flavorful.  Tasted as good or better than any restaurant ribs at 1/3 the cost.  We cooked all the ribs shown here for under $20 total.
