Chicken paprika
Serves 4
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1.3-1.6 kg chicken, cut in serving
• Salt and freshly ground pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon marjoram
• 1/2 cup duck sauce
• 1/4 cup white wine
• 1/4 cup chicken stock
Directions:
Brown the chicken lightly in hot oil in a pot or frying
pan before starting the cooking process (the meat
should still be raw in the middle). Remove chicken
and reserve on a warm platter. Sprinkle with salt,
pepper, paprika and marjoram. Add the chicken to the
Mellerware pressure cooker, mix in the wine and stock.
Arrange the chicken on top. Brush with duck sauce.
Lock the lid in place and select the correct setting and
adjust cooking time (see below). Once cooked, release
pressure by opening the pressure valve and remove
lid. Remove the chicken to a warm platter and serve,
spooning sauce over the chicken.
