Recipe: Chicken Cacciatore (Presto Pressure Cooker Manual, 2006)

CHICKEN CACCIATORE

3 pound chicken, cut into serving pieces
1 cup diced tomatoes
1/3 cup white wine
1 1/2 cups sliced onions
1/2 cup chopped carrots
1/2 cup chopped celery
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons minced parsley
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste (for the sauce)

Place all ingredients except tomato paste in pressure cooker. Close cover securely. Place pressure regulator on vent pipe and cook 8 minutes with pressure regulator rocking slowly. Cool cooker at once (see note*). Place chicken on warm platter.

Stir tomato paste into sauce in cooker. Simmer until thickened. Pour over chicken.

CAUTION:
FOR POULTRY, DO NOT FILL PRESSURE COOKER OVER 2⁄3 FULL! NO PORTION OF THE POULTRY SHOULD EXTEND ABOVE THE 2⁄3 FULL MARK. Operating the cooker without cooking liquid or allowing the cooker to boil dry will damage the cooker.

*NOTE:
If the instructions state, "Cool cooker at once," cool the pressure cooker under a running water faucet or pour cold water over it, or place it in a pan of cold water until pressure is completely reduced. Note: Do not set hot cooker in a molded sink as it could damage the sink. Pressure is completely reduced when the air vent/cover lock has dropped. If the air vent/cover lock remains in its raised position, there is still pressure inside the pressure cooker. Continue to cool until the air vent/cover lock drops. After pressure has been completely reduced, remove the pressure regulator. Always remove the pressure regulator before opening the cover.
