Instant Pot Chicken Dinner With Root Vegetables Recipes

Steps:

• Combine lemon zest, red pepper flakes, 1 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 teaspoons black pepper in a small bowl. Using your fingers, lift skin up and off of breasts and legs. Season underneath skin with half of salt mixture. Using remaining half to season exterior of chicken.
• Place bird in the Instant Pot. Top with turnips, parsnips or carrots, fennel, shallots, and thyme sprigs. Season vegetables with salt and pepper. Pour white wine and water or broth into the bottom of the Instant Pot. Scatter butter over contents of pot and dot with dijon.
• Place lid on pot and set pressure to high. Cook 20 minutes. Release pressure naturally for 10 minutes before releasing pressure manually. Open lid and place to saute setting. Remove chicken and vegetables with a slotted spoon to a plate. Keep warm. When liquid comes to a simmer, add kale and cook just until wilted, 30 seconds. Serve with chicken and root vegetables, spooning sauce around each portion. If a more stew-like meal is desired, pull meat from bones before serving, discarding skin, add back to soup pot with kale and vegetables.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) set to the Saute function. Add onion to the hot oil and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add chicken and cook until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Cancel Saute function.
• Add potatoes, carrots, chickpeas, both cans of diced tomatoes, water, bouillon cubes, curry powder, garlic powder, ginger, and salt. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 15 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Stir in coconut milk.

Steps:

• Mash garlic, oregano, and 1 teaspoon salt together in a bowl.
• Douse chicken, beef, and pork with lemon juice in a large bowl. Drain half the liquid. Mix the mashed garlic, half of the onions, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, and vinegar into the meat mixture.
• Heat the remaining 1/2 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meat mixture in batches and cook until browned on all sides, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Transfer the browned meats into a large pot. Add half of the water, chicken broth, beef consomme, 2 bouillon cubes, and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until meats are more than halfway cooked through, about 40 minutes.
• Combine pumpkin, sweet potatoes, eddeos, yuca, potatoes, plantains, corn, celery, carrots, green pepper, cilantro, and adobo seasoning in the simmering pot. Return soup to a boil. Reduce heat to low and continue simmering until the sancocho is thick and the root vegetables are soft, 1 to 2 hours. Stir in the remaining half of the water by gradual increments to replace any evaporated liquid.
