Pressure Cooker Chicken Verde

I will admit that until last week I had never really thought about cooking with a pressure cooker.  Growing up, my mom used a pressure cooker from time to time and it just scared me.  But last week, a friend posted on Facebook about her electronic pressure cooker and it piqued my interest.  After several days of research I decided to take the plunge and ordered an Instant Pot IP-DUO60.

With my new pressure cooker in hand, the next decision was what would I cook to break it in.  After scouring the Internet I decided to try Chicken Verde.  Since my family is not very fond of spicy meals, I couldn't find the perfect recipe so I decided to just wing it.  The entire process from start to finish only took 30 minutes and the results was tender and very delicious chicken.  The picture doesn't do it justice but it was great.
