#INSTANT POT CASHEW CHICKEN PC#

Stir together 1 cup of water and 1 cup of rice, then lock your lid and cook everything for 3 minutes with a quick release. I have plans to do a post on this pot in pot method in the future, but if you want the basics now, here’s what you do: set your trivet on top of your chicken, then place a small heat proof dish on top of the trivet. It’s completely hands off this way and allows me to do more for the rest of the dish or whip up a salad.Ĭashew chicken is a dish that you might feel inclined to make on your stovetop, but when you can make everything in one pot (hello no dishes) and the cook time is 3 minutes, I see no reason to do it any other way! I even cooked my rice inside THE SAME POT at the SAME TIME as the chicken. The reason for this is that while my chicken/rice/beans are cooking all together in the pressure cooker, I can be prepping my tortillas and shredding my cheese without having to stand over the filling on the stovetop. In recipes like that, I always debate if it’s worth doing it that way or doing the entire recipe the conventional method and I always seem to come back to the pressure cooker.

You’d be surprised at how often the answer is yes! Even if it’s a dish where it really should be finished off in the oven, like with a pan of enchiladas, it’s almost guaranteed that you can make the entire filling in your PC and then transfer to your oven to get the tortillas and cheese nice and crispy bubbly. My pressure cooker obsession these days has reached a level where when I’m reading through recipes in cookbooks or online, the first thing I consider when looking at the instructions is if it can be adapted for the world’s best kitchen appliance. Pressure Cooker Cashew Chicken with Broccoli is an absolutely delicious dinner that’s nutty, nutritious and bursting with flavor!
