Recipe Tips

To save time, you can use pre-cut onion and minced garlic from the grocery store. You can also use brown rice instead of white rice, but you'll need to adjust the cooking time accordingly. If you want a crispier skin on the chicken, you can broil it in the oven for a few minutes after pressure cooking.
