Best 5 The Saint Charles Recipes

SARAH'S INSTANT POT® CAJUN ST. CHARLES CHICKEN

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add butter and oil and allow butter to melt.
• Sprinkle 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning on each side of the chicken breasts. Add chicken to hot Instant Pot® and cook until browned, 2 minutes on each side. Transfer chicken breasts to a plate. Add andouille sausage, mushrooms, and garlic and sauté, about 2 minutes. Cancel Saute mode.
• Pour in chicken broth, whipping cream, and hot sauce. Stir in penne pasta. Nestle chicken breasts on top of pasta. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 12 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, for about 20 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
• Remove chicken breasts to a cutting board and cut into bite-sized pieces.
• Stir Parmesan cheese into pasta sauce in the Instant Pot® until melted. Return chicken back to the pot and stir to combine. Add bell pepper and stir to combine. Residual heat will cook the peppers. Serve immediately garnished with parsley.

THE SAINT CHARLES

Steps:

• Place the lime peel in a highball glass and add the gin. Muddle the lime peel gently, to help press out some of the lime oil. If you're patient, let it sit in there for a few minutes. Then fill the glass almost to the top with cracked ice cubes. Add the lime juice. Fill with the tonic water, then add the bitters (don't be shy). Rub the lime wedge around the rim of the glass, then add it as a garnish. Swizzle, then serve the drink with the swizzle stick. Accept the compliments graciously.

ST. CHARLES PUNCH

Steps:

• In a cocktail shaker, stir sugar into lemon juice to dissolve. Toss in two handfuls of cracked ice, add port and Cognac, and shake. Strain into a small glass, add ice and ornament with berries and, if you like, orange slices.

SAINT CHARLES MESA SUN-KISSED CHILI

Steps:

• Mix cumin, coriander, cilantro, garlic herb seasoning, Italian seasoning, cayenne pepper, and fennel in a bowl to make seasoning mixture. Rub 2/3 of the seasoning mixture over pork loin.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a stovetop pressure cooker over medium heat. Add pork loin; cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
• Pour 2 cups chicken broth and rose wine into the pressure cooker. Bring to a boil, scraping the bottom to loosen browned bits. Return pork loin to the cooker. Cover and bring to high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions. Reduce heat to low and cook, about 1 hour.
