Five-Ingredient Pressure Cooker (Instant Pot) Chicken Stew | Kenji's Cooking Show

This is one of the first dishes my wife taught me how to cook. She is Colombian, from Bogota, where pressure cookers are a way of life. This dish uses just five ingredients (chicken, potato, tomato, onion, and bay leaf), takes about five minutes of actual work, and is on the table in under 30 if you've got a pressure cooker (like an Instant pot, say).

Like the recipe. Not gonna wear a mask though.

Being on Kenji's head makes me feel like the rat from Ratatouille

I've made this dish probably 30-40 times since you first posted it on serious eats, it is truly wonderful. The way the chicken flavor infuses in to the potatoes is magical. It's also a great base for adding other flavors. My standard these days is to add a few cloves of garlic, a bit of tomato paste, cumin and smoked paprika; not a far cry from the original it just perks it up a bit. I also have no problem using canned tomatoes if that's what I have on hand. Thanks Kenji for being the single biggest influence in my cooking adventures over the past decade plus.

I was gonna say you could even replace the tomatoes with tomatillos and throw in some chiles but you already did that video 3 weeks ago lol

I keep thinking that if I watch until the end, then I get to taste it. That’s the only disappointing part about this. I guess I’ll just have to go make it so I can! Looks great!

Please, keep the good pressure cooker recipes coming! Between the slow cooker and my Instant Pot, I’m managing to work two jobs and still serve tasty, wholesome and inexpensive food to my family, but I need more inspiration and new recipes, please!

Unrelated question: Seeing as you just moved to a totally new area; how do you go about finding places to get your ingredients, outside of a supermarket?

[Vemryr]

Hey Kenji you have taught me alot. Just wanted to say thanks!

[Ricecooka]

Oh man, this makes me realize I could make Korean spicy braised chicken in the pressure cooker. Thanks for the inspiration!

This stew has gotten the stamp of approval from my Chinese father-in-law (a retired Chinese restaurant owner/operator).Possibly the highest mark of approval I could ask for in cooking. Thank you for sharing this recipe again from your Serious Eats recipe long ago.

There’s a huge lack of snowboard in this video

After all this time, Sudado de Pollo arrives to Kenji´s kitchen. As a Bogotano, i´m so proud :D

[sweetpeabee]

Buying an instant pot was imo one of the best investments I've made in terms of keeping myself well-fed. I often find cooking overwhelming if there's too much prep, and pressure cooker recipes really help make stuff more approachable. So I really appreciate Kenji posting more pressure cooker recipes lately in his typical educational but chill way! 🤗

I scrolled through all the comments, and not a single person mentioned that the dogs didn’t get any.

My mom kinda makes the same she puts water and tomato paste in it and puts it in the Oven we are Turkish though almost everything has tomato paste in it :D <3

[gian]

Fun fact: this dish is called "Pollo Sudado" or "Sweaty Chicken"

[DenisRyan]

I know where Bogotá is because of Pandemic the Board Game.

[zhengarden]

[SGardner]

I make this once a week for my meal prep now.
It makes like 6 meals and each one is like 35g of protein and it’s so good.
