CHEESY SALSA CHICKEN WITH LIME, PRESSURE COOKER-STYLE RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Equipment needed: pressure cooker (this recipe could be adapted to a slow cooker or a conventional stove top. I will do my best to suggest how to adapt it, at the end of the directions. For now, I'm going to explain how I made this with an electric pressure cooker. A stovetop pressure cooker would use the same technique and times.) Using the brown/sear feature (or on medium-high on a stove), heat about 1 tablespoon oil until shimmering. Cook the chopped onion until just softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the spices, salt & pepper, stir to combine for about 1 minutes. Add the salsa, tomato sauce, tomato paste and lime juice, and stir. Nestle the frozen chicken* into the sauce. Cover and lock the lid on and pressure cook, on high, for 12 minutes. When timer beeps, turn off and use a quick pressure release. Check and make sure the chicken is cooked to 165°F. *If using thawed chicken, reduce the cooking time to 7 minutes. If using a slow cooker, prepare the sauce on the stovetop. I don't recommend using frozen chicken for a slow cooker, so only use thawed chicken. Pour the sauce over the chicken and slow-cook for about 6 hours. Preheat your broiler with the rack set two levels down, from the top. Place the chicken in an oven-proof dish Add half the fresh cilantro into the sauce and stir; spoon the sauce over the chicken. I admit, that I don't measure my cheese. I tend to smother mine with cheese, so use as you wish. Place the chicken under the broiler until the cheese is bubbling and melted, about 5 minutes. Garnish, if desired, with sour cream and green onion. Side dish serving suggestion: brown rice or black beans. To make this in a conventional way, I would suggest using only thawed chicken and searing it on each side. In a deep pan, I would make the sauce, then nestled the seared chicken into it, cover it and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the chicken registers at 165°F. Proceed with the directions on setting it in a baking dish and broiling the cheese.

CHEESY SALSA LIME CHICKEN RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• Directions Using the browning/saute setting, add heat olive oil. Cook the onion garlic, cumin and chili powder until softened-- about 3 minutes. Add salsa, tomato sauce, chicken, salt, pepper and lime juice to pressure cooking pot. Cover and lock lid in place. Select High Pressure and 12 minutes cook time. When timer beeps, turn off and use a quick pressure release. Check and make sure the chicken is cooked to 165°. Preheat the broiler and spray a small casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray. Place the chicken in the dish. Select sauté and cook sauce, stirring frequently until sauce is desire consistency. Spoon sauce over chicken. NOTES: Be sure to check the temperature of the chicken. I had to cook mine for about five more minutes. The chicken breasts were large and frozen. If using thawed chicken, reduce the time by about five minutes. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheese on top of the chicken and sauce, put the dish in the oven and broil until the cheese is melted and starting to brown, about five minutes, but watch it carefully. Garnish with cilantro and sliced green onion. Extra delicious served with rice.

MEXICAN LIME CHICKEN

Steps:

• Mix 2 tbsp olive oil with 1 tsp each crushed coriander seeds and grated lime zest and 1⁄2 tsp each paprika and light muscovado sugar.
• Put 2 chicken breasts in a baking dish, spoon the marinade over, then squeeze over a little lime juice. Cover and marinate for 30 minutes.
• Slip 1-2 lime slices under the skin of each breast and season. Tuck 6 unpeeled garlic cloves and 2 fresh red chillies around the chicken.
• Roast the chicken breasts in a baking dish, uncovered, for 30-35 minutes in a preheated oven (190C/gas 5/fan oven 170C). To check if they are done, prod the chicken with your finger - if it's still a bit soft, give it a bit longer.
