Pressure cooker salsa-lime chicken. Chicken breasts with salsa and spices cooked in a pressure cooker.

What are the Benefits of Using a Pressure Cooker?

Pressure cooking is a way to cook food quickly and easily in a pot or pan that uses steam. Pressure cooking can help you save time and money on your grocery bill.

Pressure cooking can also be easier than other methods of cooking. It’s easy to use, easy to clean, and safe for all types of dishes.

Pressure cookers are typically more expensive than regular pots and pans but they are worth the investment because they save you time and money in the long run.

How to Make the Perfect Salsa-Lime Chicken in the Pressure Cooker?

If you are looking for the perfect recipe to make an amazing meal or just want to learn how to cook a new dish, this is the recipe for you. It’s easy, quick, and delicious.

What makes the salsa-lime chicken so good? It’s the combination of flavors that work so well together: lime, cilantro, and cumin. The lime juice gives it a nice kick while the cilantro adds a refreshing flavor that helps balance out the heat from the cumin.

This recipe is best made with boneless skinless chicken thighs because they are more flavorful than chicken breasts and will cook faster in the pressure cooker.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 pounds (960 g) boneless and skinless chicken breast halves
  • 1½ cups (370 ml) spicy prepared salsa
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • pinch of red chile powder
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 2 limes, cut into wedges for serving

Method

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a pressure cooker turned to the sauté mode. Working in batches, add chicken breasts and lightly brown on both sides. Using tongs, transfer to a serving platter.

Step 2

Add salsa, cumin, chili powder, and lime to the pressure cooker, scraping any browned bits from the bottom. Return cooked chicken breasts to the pot, nestling meat into the sauce.

Step 3

Close the pot and lock the lid. Set the machine to cook at high pressure. Set the timer to cook for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the pot from the heat. Open the pressure cooker, using the Quick Release method. The chicken breasts should be tender. Set aside, covered, for 15 minutes.

Step 5

Transfer chicken together with sauce to a serving platter. Serve with lime wedges on the side and warm tortillas.
