Pressure Cooker Italian Chicken and Sausage with Peppers image

I love the restaurant Chicken with Sausage and peppers with pasta. This is a fast version of my recipe that basically takes all day!

Provided by TishT

Categories     Chicken

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 Italian sausages (about 12 oz total)
1 frying chicken, skin removed cut into serving pieces
1 medium onion (about 4 oz)
2 medium green bell peppers (about 10 oz)
2 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes
3/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon fennel seed
crushed red pepper flakes
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in the pressure cooker.
  • Prick the skin of the sausages in several places with the tines of a fork.
  • Add the sausages and chicken to the oil and cook until well browned on all sides.
  • While the chicken is cooking, dice the onion.
  • Cut the green peppers into 3/4" thick strips.
  • Mince the garlic.
  • When the chicken and sausages are browned, remove them from the pan and set aside.
  • Add the onion, green peppers and garlic to the cooker to cook, stirring often, until they begin to soften, about 4 minutes.
  • Add the vinegar and stir up the browned bits from the bottom of the cooker.
  • Add the chicken and sausages, tomatoes, basil, fennel, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper to taste.
  • Close pressure cooker and bring up to full pressure.
  • Reduce heat to stabilize pressure and cook for 10 minutes.
  • Release pressure and adjust the seasoning.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before starting, ensure all ingredients and tools are ready, including a 6 or 8-quart pressure cooker, a cutting board, a sharp knife, measuring cups and spoons, and a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula.
  • Choose the right chicken: Use a whole 3-4 pound (1.4-1.8 kg) chicken for a richer flavor. If using chicken breasts or thighs, increase the amount to 3 pounds (1.4 kg).
  • Season generously: Don't be shy with the seasoning. Use a combination of garlic, oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful broth.
  • Brown the chicken: Before adding the liquid to the pressure cooker, brown the chicken pieces in a little bit of olive oil for extra flavor and color.
  • Add vegetables and herbs: Once the chicken is browned, add a variety of vegetables for a nutritious and colorful soup. Common vegetables include carrots, celery, onions, garlic, potatoes, and zucchini. Add fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves for extra flavor.
  • Use a flavorful broth: Instead of water, use a flavorful broth like chicken broth or vegetable broth to enhance the soup's taste.
  • Cook at high pressure: Cook the soup at high pressure for the recommended time, typically 15-20 minutes. This cooking method helps retain nutrients and create a rich, flavorful broth.
  • Natural pressure release: After cooking, let the pressure cooker naturally release pressure for 10-15 minutes before quick-releasing the remaining pressure. This helps prevent the soup from splattering when opening the lid.
  • Adjust seasoning and serve: Once the pressure is released, open the lid and taste the soup. Adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or herbs if desired. Serve the soup hot with a side of crusty bread or crackers.
