Lemon Chicken Dinner
Ingredients:

  • 2 Chicken breasts
  • 1-2 T. Olive oil
  • 2 T. Flour
  • 1/2 t. Salt
  • 1/2 Lemon, sliced
  • 1 1/2 T. Brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 T. Ketchup
  • 1/2 T. White vinegar
  • 1/2 t. Lemon zest
  • 1/2 Lemon, juiced
  • 1/3 c. Frozen lemonade concentrate

Instructions:

Mix together salt and flour, coat chicken. Pour oil into Instant Pot liner. Arrange lemon slices in single layer in bottom of pot. Place chicken breasts on top of lemon slices and turn pot on ’saute’. Brown chicken on both sides while singeing lemons into chicken. When done browning, place chicken breasts into stainless steel or ovenproof bowl that fits in Instant Pot. Mix remaining ingredients together to make sauce and pour over chicken. You can discard the lemon slices or use them on top of the chicken dish for presentation. You can add your choice of fresh vegetables to this bowl at this time, if you like, such as green beans, broccoli, asparagus, etc.

Next, in bottom of Instant Pot, with pan drippings, add 1 cup of rinsed, white jasmine rice and 1 1/2 cups of water. Stir and place rack inside of pot and place bowl with chicken, sauce, and vegetables on top of rack. Place lid on Instant Pot with vent in sealing position and press the ‘rice’ button to steam your whole meal. When program is complete, your entire meal is ready.

I’ve included the thermometer reading in the photo so that you could see for yourself that the chicken more than reached proper temperature for poultry even in this short of time.

There are a few things to aware of when cooking meat.

  • Raw meat is perishable food, which should not be left at room temperature for more than 2 hours (or 1 hour if room temperature is above 32C/180F).  When use delayed cooking, do not set delayed cooking more than 1 ~ 2 hours.
  • Do not try to thicken the sauce before cooking.  Corn starch, flour or arrow-root may deposit to the bottom of the inner pot and be burnt to block heat dissipation. This could cause the cooker overheating.
  • You may want to brown the meat to seal the natural juice before starting pressure cooking.

Please note that the cooking time is pressure keeping time on Instant Pot or other electric pressure cooker operating at 10.2 – 11.6 psi or 70-80 kPa. Cooking times are approximate. Please use them as a guideline only.
