Pressure cooker chicken mac-and-cheese recipe. Chicken breasts with macaroni and Cheddar cheese cooked in a pressure cooker. You can also use Gruyere cheese, Emmentaler, Jarlsberg Colby, or even mild American instead of the Cheddar.
Make Crunchy Breadcrumb Topping for each bowl: In a large nonstick skillet, melt 4 tablespoons (60 ml) of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add 1 cup (250 ml) of fresh breadcrumbs, 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) salt, and 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) of black pepper. Cook, tossing over the heat, until lightly brown and crunchy, for about 3 minutes.
