Chicken Cordon Bleu “Bake”

Ingredients 2 tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter, plus 3 tablespoons (42g) unsalted butter, melted, plus more for greasing the baking dish 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces 1 cup (235ml) reduced-sodium chicken broth 1 teaspoon dry mustard ½ teaspoon salt 1⁄8 teaspoon cayenne pepper 4 medium-size russet potatoes, peeled and cubed 1 cup (50g) panko breadcrumbs ¼ cup (20g) shredded parmesan cheese ½ cup (115g) sour cream 1 cup (110g) shredded swiss cheese 8 ounces (226.75g) deli ham, diced Tip

Stir in some thawed frozen peas or vegetables along with the ham to make this a one-pot meal.

Yield: 6 servings

A deconstructed version of chicken cordon bleu—chicken, ham, and cheese in an easy-to-make, easy-to-serve casserole—with a crispy coating on top.

Instructions

Grease a 9 × 13-inch (23 × 33 cm) ovenproof dish with butter and set aside.

Select Browning/Sauté and add 2 tablespoons (28 g) butter to the pressure cooking pot to melt. Add the chicken. Sauté for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the chicken broth, dry mustard, salt, and cayenne.

Put a steamer basket in the cooking pot on the chicken. Add the potatoes to the basket. Lock the lid in place. Select High Pressure and 4 minutes cook time. While the chicken cooks, preheat the broiler.

In a small bowl, mix the panko and Parmesan with the melted butter. Set aside.When the cook time ends, turn off the pressure cooker. Use a quick pressure release. When the valve drops, carefully remove the lid. Remove the steamer basket and potatoes from the pot.

Add the sour cream and Swiss cheese to cooking pot and stir until the cheese melts. Stir in the potatoes and ham. Pour the mixture into the prepared dish. Top with the panko mixture. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes until golden-brown—watch closely so it doesn’t burn.

Title: User-friendly, great information and tried and true delicious recipes!
Review: First, I want to write about a reviewer who said there were more canned and processed foods that they care to use. Wait! What?! I cook from scratch, believe me. I love to bake my own breads, can my own jams and there are no canned soups in my pantry. However, I do stock quality commercially made chicken or beef broth, that I buy with low-sodium and organic-- to save time in the kitchen. Yes, she uses taco seasoning, but I make my own blend-- though not all taco seasonings are "bad". I see that she uses canned beans and canned tomatoes-- as do I. No harm, as mine are all organic and completely healthy. Yes, I saw a recipe that uses cornbread mix. I can make my own, so no big deal. Enchilada sauce and spaghetti sauce is an ingredient in a FEW of her recipes-- again, non big deal. I did see ONE recipe with onion soup mix, but I can forgive that, since I don't buy it. Those recipes are few and far between. So, PLEASE, know that I give Barbara high-fives for easy recipes that, at times, uses ordinary pantry items.Exhale. I am, myself, a food blogger who "met" (not in real life, as we live in separate states) Barbara when I was searching for pressure cooker recipes. I've been pressure cooking for at least 15 years, starting with a stove top model and then graduating to an electric pressure cooker. My electric PC pot was nonstick and it pretty much disintegrated from so much use. So, I bought an Instant Pot three years ago, love it! I have made several of Barbara's recipes, with total success-- I adapted her cheesecake recipe to make my own flavors, and LOVE her rice pudding recipe.When I buy a new cookbook I tend to skip past all the "info" in the beginning and flip right to recipes. This time, I read her section on the advantages of pressure cooking. Hallelujah! I already know a few friends I want to buy this book for, as a gift. They are "afraid" of pressure cooking or are hesitant to give up their slow cooker. I really liked her PRESSURE COOKING POINTERS and trouble-shooting guide. Her info is spot on, and will give me the answers to my friends who aren't convinced that pressure cooking is as amazing as I find it to be.As for the recipe section, I admit that I was a little sad there weren't photos for every recipe. However, that was short-lived, because there are a LOT of photos and they are all done in Barbara's professional style. I recognize a few of the recipes from her blog, but there are plenty of never-before-seen recipes . I honed in on the Asian Chicken Noodle Soup and it sounds amazing! I am so making that, this weekend!I use my Instant Pot a LOT-- at least 2-3 times a week. I'm always looking for new recipes and I'm testing out my own creations.If you're new to pressure cooking, this cookbook is user-friendly and very helpful. Even I learned a few new tricks.I have never met Barbara, personally but I feel as though she's part of my internet network of friends. I applaud the hard work she's put into writing this cookbook and it's a clear winner! I look forward to making many of her recipes with confidence and great results!

Title: Perfect Recipes, Nearly Perfect Book
Review: Barbara Schieving's blog is my go-to source for pressure cooker recipes. Her recipes just plain work, and are usually perfect for my family's taste, as written. In this book she's distilled her almost-encyclopedic knowledge of electric pressure cookers so we'll always have it right at hand and given us tons of new recipes, too. Her writing style is warm and conversational, making both the information in the Introduction and the recipe instructions feel common-sensical and easy to follow. She begins with a tutorial on electric pressure cookers (ePCs), discussing the models she uses, the parts of an ePC, the various cooking modes, essential and nice-to-have accessories. There are tips for various situations, like high-altitude cooking, scaling recipes, and so on. Her advice on converting other recipes to an ePC is the best I've ever seen, and this section alone is worth the price of the book. She surprised me with tips I didn't know that will make it easier for me to convert more of my favorite recipes to my Instant Pot. Some will wonder where the timing charts are, but I've come to learn that charts never tell the whole story and I'm almost always better off to find a recipe that has similar ingredients to the ones I'll be using, and follow that timing. Barbara explains why this method works, and why it is the best way to make sure every ingredient is cooked to perfection.The book has 150 all-new recipes, which was all I needed to know before pre-ordering it. It has some of the usual chapters, but also includes a chapter on sandwiches, wraps and tacos. Mains are broken out by cooking time rather than protein, into Shortcut Dinners, 30-Minute Meals, and Sunday Suppers. Each chapter has a ToC, with page numbers. The tips included with each recipe may give you an alternate presentation for the recipe, or advice on adjusting the recipe. Some of the new recipes I'm itching to try are Chicken Cordon Bleu "Bake", Creamy Swiss Onion Soup, San Francisco Treat Chicken, Game Day Potatoes, Sweet Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin, Brown Rice Fiesta Bake and Cranberry Orange Bread Pudding. Some of my favorite recipes from her blog are included, too. Carnitas (presented as street tacos), Barbecue Bacon Meatloaf, Cilantro-Lime Rice, Chunky Potato Cheese Soup and Key Lime Pie are all here. Her recipe for Long-Grain White Rice has become my master recipe for any variation I want to make. If you're not using Barbara's technique for cooking potato salad, you're missing out on the neatest trick your pressure cooker can do!UPDATE - I had originally given this book 4 stars, because the 1st printing lacks an index listing for Rice. Barbara wrote to tell me that the publisher created the index and she wasn't aware of the omission until she received a final copy of the book. The publisher has promised to correct the error in future printings. With this problem addressed, there's only one thing I'd have liked to see that isn't in the book, and that's total cooking time. In fairness, most other pressure cooker cookbooks don't include this information, either. At least Barbara's main dish chapters give us a clue as to total timing, so it's not such a big deal here. This book is deserving of 5 stars, and I highly recommend it.

Title: Yummy sounding recipes, family friendly; and they look really simple and easy, if not healthy.
Review: As a few other reviewers have noted, the recipes here for the most part are not healthy. Having said that, pretty much all of the recipes feature ingredients that most people already have on-hand, or are easily available. No fancy nor expensive or hard to find ingredients that you will never use again. These are pretty easy recipes. Family-friendly, if not healthy. The recipes all sound like crowd-pleasing, family-pleasing recipes. All are very doable and none require much thought, which is pretty much the whole purpose of the instant pot/pressure cooker for most folks. There are some healthier recipes here, not all are heavy on salt or sugar or carbs, but for the most part, if you are looking for a healthy cookbook, this likely is not for you (the author does say the recipes are family friendly and easy, so, to me, that sort of does not usually equal healthy).It's up to you. If you are looking for healthy recipes, this cookbook is likely not for you. If you have a family to feed (with no concern about salt and sugar), this cookbook might be worth checking out. The recipes all look good, but if you are looking for healthy recipes, I would say to pass this one by.I bought our pressure cooker to get healthier. While the recipes here are not healthy, I will still use this cookbook once in a while, as we do have some cheat or 'free' days now and then. Some of the recipes of course can be adapted for a healthier version, as well.

Review: I love this book and return to it quite often because all the recipes have been tested and work out well. The recipes use everyday ingredients and are easy to understand. I call it the Joy of Cooking book for Pressure Cookers because when I was learning how to use the Instant Pot, it was a lifesaver, especially when I was trying to figure out how long to cook certain dishes from other recipes...I always used this book as a reference. Barbara also has an amazing blog called pressurecookingtoday.com which has tons of great recipes!

Review: I am on a very severe diet and bought an electric pressure cooker. Although I cannot use most of the recipes in the book due to my diet, the recipes give me a great deal of guidance in preparing and cooking what I need. I am very pleased with it.

Review: Fabulous recipe book. Details how to use your electric pressure cooker! Information I wanted from the start of my adventure in express cooking, but found hard to find. High quality recipes (American) but with metric added. Can’t wait to try some of these items.
