Ugly Chicken Stew
Biggest flavor bang for the time-buck! Just dump raw chicken into a pressure cooker with a bunch of veggies, cover, cook for 25 minutes (10 to heat up, 15 high pressure). And that's it!
Yeah it's not pretty. But it's oh so good!
I was surprised to learn that there's no need to add liquid to the pot. If the chicken is raw (meaning you didn't take the time to sear it) and you have veggies in there, you'll have all the liquid you need. In fact it comes out nice and soupy but not overwhelmingly so.
In my case, I used potatoes, parsnips, onions, carrots, tomatoes, many many many many whole cloves of garlic. Those cloves of garlic become deliciously mushy and lose much of their harsh garlic taste. Stick 40 of them in there if you want -- it won't be excessively garlicky. (40 clove garlic chicken stew is a thing and it's so good!)
As part of OMASL (Operation Make Anoop Suck Less) I'm trying to spend less time cooking while still eating the yummiest of things so I'll probably make this or variants of it frequently from now on!
