A delicious meal cooked in a pressure cooker. Your house will smell like an Italian restaurant.
Next time I make this recipe, I'm going to chop all the vegetables the night before. It will be even faster.
Total Time: 30 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
Source: Cook it Slow, Cook it Fast by Mr. Food
Ingredients:
- 1 (3 1/2 lb) chicken, cut into 8 pieces (I used chicken thighs, and took off the skin)
- 1 1/2 tsp salt, divided (I used less)
- 1 tsp black pepper, divided
- 1 can (28 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 8 oz fresh mushrooms, cut in quarters
- 1 large green pepper, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 cloves, garlic, minced
- 1 jar (24 ounce) spaghetti sauce
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
Steps:
- Sprinkle the chicken with the salt and pepper. Put in a 5-quart or larger pressure cooker.
- Add the remaining ingredients in the order listed. Do not stir!
- Lock the lid. Put on high heat and bring to full pressure. Reduce the heat to maintain the pressure for 12 minutes. If you are using an electric pressure cooker, set the timer for 12 minutes.
- Quick release.
- Remove the lid, stir and serve the chicken with the sauce on the top.

I have the old-school style with the weight on top. I go to cooking classes, and they advise buying new and stainless steel, not aluminum.
I paid around $40 for mine on sale at Kohl's in NY.

Sounds delicious! I don't have a pressure cooker right now, but hope to in the future. Thumbs up from me, too!
