Now look, if you don't have a pressure cooker you mustn't fret because this is easy enough to make in the oven, and we've catered for your failures in the recipe bit. But if you do have an Instant Pot at home, this is the perfect recipe for it: you chuck it all in and let the machine do the hard work. And if you're the nervous sort who pales in terror at the idea of a pressure cooker fret not: we are going to do a guide to them shortly. We were gifted our newest Instant Pot by the company, but you'll see from previous entries that we have been long-term devotees. Let's do this.
Ingredients
- 750g of chicken thighs
- 1tsp salt
- two onions, chopped finely
- 5 cloves of garlic, minced
- 185ml chicken stock
- 1tsp dried parsley
- ¼ tsp paprika
- juice from one lemon
- 4 tsp cornflour
- white rice - we used about 100g each
Instructions
Pressure cooker
- select saute, add a bit of oil and chuck in the onions, cook for about 5-10 minutes or so until they start to brown
- add everything else to the pot save for the cornflour and give everything a reet good stir
- put the lid on, make sure the vent is set to ‘sealing’ and press the high pressure and select fifteen minutes
- when finished, release the pressure (it's perfectly safe)
- cook the rice however you want it
- scoop a cupful of liquid out and stir the cornflour in, making sure there's no lumps
- remove the chicken using tongs and add the cornflour mixture into the rest of the liquid, stirring until the sauce is thickened
- serve the chicken on top of the rice with the sauce poured over
No pressure cooker
- saute the onions in a casserole dish, then add everything (plus another 50ml of stock) bar the cornflour and cook on low for about two hours in the oven
- once the chicken is cooked, add the cornflour and allow the sauce to thicken
- serve
Notes
Notes
Recipe
- just one note - don't be tempted with chicken breasts - you want thighs. If you're fussy, you can buy the boneless and skinless thighs in all supermarkets now
Books
- we've done some terrific things with chicken in our second cookbook which you will love: order yours here!
- and wait til you see what I do with my cock in book one: click here to order
- we've also got a planner: here
Tools
- we honestly can't fault the Instant Pot - we use the Instant Pot Pro because it does everything we need and doesn't look like Sputnik - you can find it here but other variants of the Instant Pot are cheaper still
- get yourself a good set of silicone-ended tongs, they'll steer you well and they are perfect for cheekily grabbing your partner's nipple during frolics and fun times - we use these
