Pressure Cooker Chicken Casablanca - Ninja Foodi or Instant Pot

Kurt
Is this a traditional Moroccan recipe? I have no idea! I couldn't find any information on its origins. But I do know that it's delicious! This was my first time converting a recipe from slow cooker to pressure cooker, and I think it came out really well!

Special Equipment Needed

  • 1 Pressure cooker Ninja Foodi, Instant Pot, or other brand

Ingredients
 

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger minced
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon Aleppo pepper flakes or other red pepper flakes
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 3 pounds chicken breasts or thighs boneless and skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 large carrots sliced ½" thick
  • 2 large potatoes peeled and diced
  • 1 medium zucchini sliced 1" thick
  • 1 (15-ounce) can garbanzo beans drained
  • 1 (14-ounce) can chopped tomatoes
  • ¾ cup water
  • Lime wedges to serve

Instructions
 

  • Set the pressure cooker to Sauté/High. Add two tablespoons of oil. When it's heated, add the onions and sauté until they turn translucent.
    1 large onion, 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Add the garlic, ginger, cumin, turmeric, salt, black pepper, Aleppo pepper, cinnamon, and cayenne and stir for 1 minute.
    2 cloves garlic, 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, ½ teaspoon cumin, ½ teaspoon turmeric, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, ½ teaspoon Aleppo pepper flakes, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Add the chicken and sauté until it's coated with the spice mix and browned on all sides.
    3 pounds chicken breasts or thighs
  • Add the carrots, potatoes, zucchini, garbanzo beans, and tomatoes, and water. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
    3 large carrots, 2 large potatoes, 1 medium zucchini, 1 (15-ounce) can garbanzo beans, 1 (14-ounce) can chopped tomatoes, ¾ cup water
  • Set the pot to Pressure for 10 minutes. (My Ninja Foodi took about 12 minutes to come to pressure.)
  • When the cooking is complete do a quick release. (My Ninja took about 6 minutes to release the pressure.)
  • Serve over noodles, rice, or couscous. Squeezing a lime wedge over the dish will really brighten up the flavor!
