Usually on Sunday night Ron and I talk about our schedules and commitments for the upcoming week. We are both self employed and we both serve a lot at church, very little in our schedule is consistent, especially over the summer. Once I know how many and which nights we will be eating at home, I usually ask Ron if there is something specific he might want this week. Lately he’s wanted Hawaiian Burgers and Buffalo Chicken Casserole.

Last week we had barbecue chicken planned one night. Of course, that was the night Hurricane Elsa decided to visit Tampa Bay. Honestly, the storm was a non-event here where I live. Our afternoon thunderstorms the week before were much worse than Elsa. Nonetheless, we couldn’t grill out in the rain so I needed to pivot and find another way. That’s how this recipe came about.

Pressure Cooker Barbecue Chicken

I made this recipe in my Ninja Foodi but you can make it in any pressure cooker that also has a saute setting.

Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp onion powder
• 1 cup barbecue sauce, divided I use Sweet Baby Ray’s
• 1/2 cup water

Pressure Cooker Barbecue Chicken Instructions

1. Trim any fat off the chicken and butterfly any very thick pieces.
2. Season both sides of the chicken with the salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.
3. Place the chicken in the pressure cooker, I use my Ninja Foodi.
4. Pour the water into the pressure cooker.
5. Pour 1/2 cup of the barbecue sauce over the chicken.
6. Place lid on pressure cooker and set it to high for 12 minutes. Remember, it will take 10-15 minutes to come to pressure before the timer starts.
7. After cooking allow pressure to naturally release for about 5 minutes before releasing the rest manually.
8. Remove the chicken from the pot and pour any remaining liquid down the drain.
9. Replace the pot and change the setting to saute.
10. Put the chicken back in the pot and add the rest of the barbecue sauce.
11. Allow to cook for about 3 minutes to crisp up the bottom of the chicken a little.
12. Serve with your favorite side dishes. I served it with my Crack Potatoes.

Last week in my Buffalo Chicken Tater Tot Casserole recipe I told you all about Moore’s Sauces and Marinades so click on over if you want to know more about them. I made this meal in my brand new hOmelabs 6 qt slowcooker. The know on my old faithful crockpot that I received as a wedding gift almost 26 years ago broke so it was time to go digital. The budget was tight so I opted for this slow cooker because when the cooking time is completed it goes into the “warm” mode after 10 minutes. We all know that sometimes we don’t make it home at the exact time we thought we would. This slow cooker has your back, Mom.

Ingredients

I whipped it up in less than 10 minutes Sunday before church, set it to start cooking at 11:00am and it was ready for small group at 5:00pm!

We served the chicken with mashed potatoes and corn on the cob and it was delicious. It was gone before I could take any pictures of the meal on anyone’s plate! The original recipe called for 1 tsp of red pepper flakes but I thought that would be over kill. We all agreed there was just the right amount of kick to the sauce with only 1/4 tsp of the red pepper flakes added. The crockpot cleaned up quickly without really having to scrub, which makes this recipe even better
