This recipe is great because, if you need to, you can use frozen chicken and it doesn’t change the cooking time! I love that about pressure cookers. I don’t know about you, but I often forget to defrost the meat. It can really mess up my meal timing.

Pressure Cooker Buffalo Chicken Pasta

Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast

2. Pour the Buffalo wing sauce and 1 cup of water over top of the chicken.
3. Place the pats of butter on top.
4. Place the lid on the pressure cooker. Set to high pressure for 14 minutes.
5. Once the cooking time is over, do a quick release, about 2 minutes.
6. Remove the chicken to a plate and shred it.
7. Add the uncooked pasta to the pressure cooker.
8. Next add the shredded chicken, followed by the cream cheese and Ranch dressing.
9. Add the remaining 2 cups of water, don’t stir.
10. Replace the lid and set to high pressure for 4 minutes.
11. When the cooking time is done, do a quick release.
12. Stir the contents with a wooden spoon to combine the ingredients.

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

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.

Yes, I’m starting off with a super simple recipe. It is an adaptation of my 3 Envelope Crockpot Roast, which is a family favorite. Way back on Black Friday I bought myself a Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker! This is my first pressure cooker. I have borrowed my daughter-in-law’s Instant Pot once but I never owned one. Here it is 6 months later and I am using my Foodi more and more.

A few months ago, when I was planning to make my 3 Envelope Roast in the crockpot as normal I thought, “I should be able to do this in my Foodi in a lot less time.” I was right! It took a little trial and error to get it perfect but I now make this roast in my pressure cooker every time! I will tell you up front, this roast can be a little salty. If you need to watch your sodium I suggest getting the low sodium brown gravy packet, that is what I usually do, but it has been difficult to find in these odd Covid times we are living in.

3 Envelope Pressure Cooker Roast Recipe

Ingredients

• 3-4 lb beef roast
• 1 envelope Ranch Dressing Mix
• 1 envelope Italian Dressing Mix
• 1 envelope Brown Gravy mix
• 1 TBS Canola Oil
• 1 cup Water
• 1 TBS Corn Starch
• 1.5 TBS Cold Water

3 Envelope Pressure Cooker Roast Instructions

• Place the cooking pot in your Foodi and set it to Sear/Saute.
• While it is heating up, in a small bowl, mix together the contents of the 3 envelopes.
• Rub the dry mix all over the roast.

• Put the oil in the cooking pot and then add the roast. Sear the roast on each side.
• Change the Foodi to pressure. Pour the water over the roast. Put the Pressure lid on and make sure the pressure valve is in the sealed position.
• Set the pressure to High and the time to 90 minutes.
• When the roast is done, allow it to do a natural pressure release for 15 minutes before manually releasing the pressure.
• Remove the roast from the cooking pot and place it on a serving tray.
• Switch the Foodi to Sear/Saute. In a small bowl, mix together the corn starch and cold water. Add this mixture to the roast juices and stir to mix with a wooden spoon.
• Allow the gravy to thicken for 2-3 minutes.
• Serve the roast and gravy with your favorite potatoes and veggies
