PRESSURE COOKER SALSA VERDE CHICKEN



Pressure Cooker Salsa Verde Chicken image

This warming, satisfying stew takes about 30 minutes from start to finish, thanks to the pressure cooker, which makes quick work of braising chicken and melding flavors. Use your favorite jarred green salsa as a shortcut: The salsa mingles with the chicken juices to make a thick, tangy sauce that tastes like more than the sum of its parts. (Jarred salsas vary in heat levels, so be sure to taste yours first. Make the dish spicier by leaving some of the jalapeño seeds in.) Serve the chicken over rice or whole grains, which soak up the sauce, or use the chicken in tacos, burritos or enchiladas. You can also add one cup of frozen or fresh corn, or a drained 15-ounce can of black or pinto beans to the cooked chicken and simmer until just warmed through. Pass around toppings like crunchy pepitas, tortilla chips, crumbled queso fresco or avocado, to customize at will.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 1/2 cups jarred salsa verde
1 (4-ounce) can mild chopped green chiles
8 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 jalapeño, stemmed, seeded and diced
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
3 scallions (green and white parts), thinly sliced
1 small bunch cilantro, leaves and tender stems finely chopped (about 1 heaping cup)
Kosher salt, to taste
Fresh lime juice, to taste
Any combination of cooked rice, tortillas, pepitas, queso fresco, diced avocado and crushed tortilla chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Add the chicken, salsa verde, canned chiles, chopped garlic, jalapeño, garlic powder, onion powder and cumin to a 6- to 8-quart electric pressure cooker; stir to combine. (Don't add salt yet, as many jarred salsas are high in sodium.) Close the lid and turn the pressure knob to sealed. Cook on high pressure for 8 minutes.
  • Turn off the pressure cooker and allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then release the remaining pressure manually. Open the lid. If you would like to reduce the sauce, remove the chicken with a slotted spoon to a bowl and turn on the simmer function; let the sauce bubble for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to thicken. Add the chicken back into the pot if you have removed it. Use two forks to coarsely shred the chicken. Stir in the scallions and cilantro. Taste, and season with salt and lime juice.
  • Serve in bowls, alone or with rice, or in tortillas, with desired toppings.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, fresh tomatillos: Look for tomatillos that are firm and have a bright green color. Avoid any that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Roast your tomatillos and peppers: Roasting the tomatillos and peppers intensifies their flavor and gives the salsa a smoky, slightly charred taste. You can roast them in the oven or on a grill.
  • Use a variety of chiles: Feel free to experiment with different types of chiles to achieve the desired level of heat. Some popular choices include serrano peppers, jalapeños, and habaneros.
  • Add fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro and parsley add a bright, herbaceous flavor to the salsa. You can also add other herbs like oregano or thyme.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to taste the salsa before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. Add more salt, lime juice, or chiles to taste.

Conclusion:

This tomatillo salsa verde is a versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's perfect for tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and other Mexican-inspired dishes. It's also great as a topping for grilled meats, fish, or vegetables. With its bright, tangy flavor, this salsa is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
