MANDARIN CHICKEN - 2.5-QT. PRESSURE COOKER

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.

Tips:

Choose the Right Chicken: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for best results.
Marinade the Chicken: Marinating the chicken in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and cornstarch mixture helps tenderize and flavor it.
Use Fresh Mandarin Oranges: Fresh mandarin oranges provide the best flavor, but you can use canned mandarin oranges in a pinch.
Don't Overcook the Chicken: Overcooked chicken will be tough and dry. Cook it just until it is no longer pink in the center.
Serve Immediately: Mandarin chicken is best served immediately after cooking, while the sauce is still hot and flavorful.
