CHICKEN MINIS RECIPES

Steps:

• Add olive oil to the Instant Pot. Using the display panel select the SAUTÉ function. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
• When oil gets hot, brown the chicken on both sides, 3-4 minutes per side. Meat will not be cooked through. Do not crowd the pot--you may have to work in batches. Transfer browned meat to a shallow dish and cover loosely with foil.
• Add butter to the Instant Pot. When butter is melted, add garlic and cook for 1 minute or until it just begins to brown.
• Mix in cream, broth, salt and nutmeg and deglaze by using a wooden spoon to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
• Add (broken in half) noodles, ensuring all noodles are submerged. Nestle chicken breasts in sauce in an even layer, turning once to coat.
• Turn the pot off by selecting CANCEL, then secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
• Using the display panel select the MANUAL function*. Use the +/- keys and program the Instant Pot for 10 minutes.
• When the time is up, let the pressure naturally release for 10 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure.
• Turn the pot off by selecting CANCEL. Carefully remove the chicken to a cutting board and slice into bite-sized pieces.
• Return chicken to the pot, stir in parmesan cheese and serve immediately, garnished with basil.

Steps:

• Place meat in a zip-top bag and freeze for 1-2 hours to firm up the meat for cutting.
• Slice the meat against the grain into 1/8 inch - 1/4 inch strips.
• Mix remaining ingredients in a zip-top bag, then add steak and coat well. Marinate in the refrigerator for 3-6 hours.
• Remove the meat and pat dry. Divide the steak strips onto the cooking trays in an even layer.
• Place the drip pan in the bottom of the cooking chamber and insert one cooking tray in the top-most position and one tray in the middle position.
• Using the display panel, select DEHYDRATE, then adjust the temperature to 160 degrees and the time to 3 hours, then touch START.
• At 1.5 hours, switch the trays.
• When the Dehydrate program is nearly complete, test a piece of jerky by bending it at a 90-degree angle.
• If any moisture seeps out, return for an additional 20-30 minutes. If it bends, but there is no moisture seepage, it is done. If it cracks and breaks, it is overdone.
