Beer Braised Chicken Tacos

Hope everyone has a good few days, I'm a day behind on pressure cooker meals due to having to work over last night sorry! Kim I have added some vegetarian meals just for you this month so stay tuned!! Tonight I made beer braised chicken. To be honest I've cooked in a pressure cooker maybe once so this is all pretty new to me. I have an electric pressure cooker, my granny always used the stove top pressure cooker but I don't know much about those.

Beer Braised Chicken Tacos

  • 2 Tbs olive oil
  • 2lbs Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 Onion chopped
  • 2 Tomatoes chopped
  • 1 Tbs oregano
  • 1 Tbs minced garlic 
  • 1 Tbs jalapenos
  • 12oz Beer (I used Bold Rock apple)
  • 4.5oz Can of green chiles 
  • Salt and pepper to taste 
  • Taco shells 
Combine all of the above into the pressure cooker and cook for 18 minutes. Take the chicken out and shred meat. 



Surprisingly the chicken was more tender cooked in the pressure cooker than the slow cooker. The chicken was so tender that the tongs were pulling it apart when I was trying to take it out of the pot. The spices and flavors really sucked into the meat with all the pressure. I topped this meal with sour cream, cheese, and salsa. Jake also found out that he liked siracha and thought that it paired nicely with this dish. Tomorrow we will be having top round with bourbon, bacon, and potatoes. Stay dry and safe and see everyone tomorrow!
