Peachy Keen Chicken

I recently got a new toy tool, a electric pressure cooker.  It supposedly "makes slow food fast."  I've only used it this once but I am impressed so far. 

(Photo coming soon...)

Peachy Keen Chicken
Recipe from "Slow Food Fast" Cookbook

6 Small, Bonless, Chicken Breasts
2 Cans sliced peaches
2 Tablespoons Teriyake Sauce
2 Tablespoons Water
2 Tablespoons Cornstarch

Mix peaches and teriyake sauce in pressure cooker.  Dip chicken breasts in mixture and and place on top (or settle down in amongst the peaches and sauce).  Cook on high pressure for 15 minutes.  Release pressure.  Remove chicken and mix cornstarch and water to thicken the sauce.  Cook on high (or brown setting) (with the lid off) to thicken up the sauce.  Serve over cooked rice.

This recipe was very easy.  It was kind of bland, so next time it needs something.  But it was a great starter recipe...I think I'll add bell pepper and use pineapple next time.  And the rice was bland since there wasnt enough sauce to coat it all, so next time I'll do fried rice.  I served it with steamed broccoli.

  1. maybe adding some onion to it might help? Kind of like with apricot chicken? That only has like a french onion soup mix and it tastes delicious. You could experiment with some herbs or spices though and come up with something really great :)
