Here is an AMAZING dish thrown together in just a short time. Just a wonderful Asian dish full of flavor. With the Pressure Cooker everything is done in one pot for easy clean-up.
Pressure Cooker Honey Sesame Chicken
I started by pressure cooking the rice with my rice setting. While the rice is going, cut the chicken into strips and cubes. When the rice is done, transfer it to a bowl and rinsed the pot. Then began to saute the chicken and add the other ingredients and it was done before the rice got cold.
Why spend the money going out to a Chinese Restaurant when you can have a tasty meal at the comfort of your own home. This was a family favorite!
This is perfect for families on the go that need a quick but hearty, healthy meal. We are still experimenting but expect to have many other recipes soon.
