RECIPE SPANISH-STYLE CHICKEN AND COUSCOUS
Servings: 4 Pressure cook total time: 1 hour
Slow cook total time: 2 hours, 40 minutes
INGREDIENTS
4 (12 ounce) bone-in split chicken breasts, trimmed Salt and pepper 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 red bell pepper, stemmed,
Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Using highest sauté or browning function, heat oil in multicooker for 5 minutes (or until just smoking.) Place half of chicken, skin side down, in multicooker and cook until browned, 5 to 7 minutes; transfer to plate. Repeat with remaining chicken; transfer to plate.
Add bell pepper, chorizo, and 1⁄4 teaspoon salt to fat left in multicooker and cook until bell pepper is softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and saffron and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in broth, scraping up any browned bits. Nestle chicken, skin side up, into multicooker, adding any accumulated juices.
• To pressure cook: Lock lid in place and close pressure release valve. Select high pressure cook function and cook for 17 minutes. (If using Instant Pot, decrease cooking time to 9 minutes.) Turn off multicooker and quickrelease pressure. Carefully remove lid, allowing steam to escape away from you.
• To slow cook: Lock lid in place and open pressure release valve. Select low slow cook function and cook until chicken registers 160 F, 1 to 2 hours. (If using Instant Pot, select high slow cook function.) Turn off multicooker and carefully remove lid, allowing steam to escape away from you. Transfer chicken to serving
