Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C or 350°F to keep things warm after cooking. Heat the olive oil on medium in the pressure cooker. Brown chicken thighs on both sides until crispy and golden.
  • Take the chicken out and set it aside. Sauté the chopped onion and red pepper until softened and sweet.
  • Stir in the white rice and let it cook until translucent. Add chicken stock, coconut milk, bay leaves, Worcestershire sauce, all spice, and cinnamon. Stir well.
  • Nestle the chicken thighs back into the pot. Seal the lid tightly and ensure the sealing ring is seated snugly.
  • Turn the heat up until you hear the valve hiss, then lower the heat. Simmer under pressure for 30 minutes.
  • Allow for a natural release of pressure. Remove bay leaves, fluff the rice with a fork, and serve hot.

Notes

Serve with fresh lime juice to brighten the flavors. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days or freeze for later use.
