Chicken Delirious and Buttered Rice (for Pressure Cooker) Recipe

  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 2 green bell peppers, chopped
  • 4 carrots, cut into match-stick size pieces
  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into cubes
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1 cup whiskey
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more to taste
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon Asian (toasted) sesame oil
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1 1/4 cups white rice
  • 1 tablespoon butter, or to taste
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  1. Place onions, green bell peppers, and carrots in the pressure cooker; add chicken. Whisk 1 cup orange juice, whiskey, brown sugar, vinegar, red pepper flakes, ginger, and sesame oil together in a bowl; pour over chicken mixture. Stir to combine. Place lid on pressure cooker and lock; bring to full pressure over medium heat until chicken is no longer pink in the center, 15 minutes. Let pressure come down naturally, about 15 minutes.
  2. While chicken is cooking, combine water and rice in a microwave-safe casserole dish. Cook on high in microwave until water is absorbed and rice is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir butter into rice; toss well.
  3. Whisk 1/2 cup orange juice and cornstarch together in a bowl; stir into hot chicken mixture until whiskey sauce is thickened. Serve chicken over the hot buttered rice.
