Mandarin Chicken - 2.5-Qt. Pressure Cooker image

Entered for safe-keeping, adapted from fastcooking.ca (which promotes Fagor pressure cookers). The pressure cooking time is for a fast 15 psi pressure cooker. For a 12 psi cooker, add about 20% more time. For T-Fal, WMF, Chef's Design, electronic pressure cookers, the 8 psi pressure Lagostina Endura, low cost "no name" pressure cookers and other pressure cookers that are less than 15 pounds (psi) pressure, add additional time per your pressure cooker manual. I estimate that a 2.5-quart pressure cooker would be large enough to cook this.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 lb boneless skinless chicken breast (350 g)
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (15 mL)
2 cups reduced sodium low-fat homemade chicken stock (500 mL) or 2 cups reduced sodium low-fat chicken broth (500 mL)

1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce (15 mL)
4 tablespoons cornstarch (60 mL)

8 ounces Chinese wheat noodles, cooked
fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In the pressure cooker, combine chicken, vinegar, stock and onions.
  • Secure the lid and bring to high pressure and cook for 5 minutes (begin timing once up to pressure), reducing heat to maintain high pressure.
  • Allow pressure to reduce naturally for 10 minutes, then release pressure with quick release method or automatic release method recommended by your pressure cooker manual.
  • Remove the lid. Transfer the chicken to a platter and keep warm.
  • Leave the stock mixture in the pressure cooker, and stir in tarragon, oranges, honey and soy sauce.
  • Combine the cornstarch and water. Stir into the stock mixture, and cook uncovered over medium heat until the sauce thickens.
  • Serve the chicken over cooked noodles. Add pepper to taste.

This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out great! The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, so I would recommend using less orange marmalade and honey next time.

I'm so glad you enjoyed the recipe! I agree that the sauce can be a bit sweet, so feel free to adjust the amount of orange marmalade and honey to your liking.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred using less orange marmalade and honey. Otherwise, the chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was very flavorful.
