Immediate Pot Montana Hen

Whereas perusing the web I got here throughout “Montana Hen” and it caught my eye since I used to be raised within the Large Sky state! The creator mentioned, “The premise for this recipe was one I acquired from The Montana Cookbook, which I bought umpteen years in the past after we visited Glacier Nationwide Park. I’ve positively tweaked it a bit through the years to get precisely the flavour I wished. We’ve at all times simply referred to it as ‘montana rooster’. It’s candy and tart and goes effectively with brown rice and stir-fried broccoli.” The unique recipe is made within the oven however, after all, I modified it to be an Immediate Pot recipe (you can too make this one within the gradual cooker).

I actually preferred the flavour of this dish and was pleasantly stunned as a result of once I noticed that it had molasses and mustard I used to be uncertain of what that might style like. It’s distinctive and scrumptious! I hope you prefer it too.

Elements/Substitution Concepts

• Boneless skinless rooster thighs–or rooster tenderloins
• Canned mandarin oranges
• Low sodium soy sauce
• Apple cider vinegar
• Yellow mustard–or Dijon
• Molasses–or honey
• Lime juice–or lemon juice

• Kosher salt
• Cornstarch

Steps

Use kitchen shears to trim extra fats off the rooster thighs. Lower them into 1 inch chunks. Add them into the Immediate Pot.

Open the can of mandarin oranges and pour the juices from the can (not the oranges) into the Immediate Pot. Add within the soy sauce, vinegar, yellow mustard, molasses, lime juice, ginger, garlic and salt into Immediate Pot. Stir.

Cowl Immediate Pot and safe the lid. Make sure that valve is ready to sealing. Set the guide/strain prepare dinner button to three minutes. When time is up let pot sit for 5-10 minutes after which transfer valve to venting. Take away the lid. 

In a small bowl stir collectively 2 Tbsp cornstarch with 3 Tbsp of water till easy. Flip Immediate Pot to saute setting. Stir within the slurry till sauce has thickened. Flip off the pot.  

Stir within the mandarin oranges. Salt and pepper to style. Serve rooster and sauce over rice. 

Notes/Ideas

• Serve rooster and sauce over rice. You may make rice on the range or in a separate Immediate Pot. This tastes good with a facet of steamed or roasted broccoli.
• Variation–use a can of pineapple within the place of the mandarin oranges.
• Add some crunch! Attempt stirring in some cashews after the rooster has cooked.
• In the event you select to make use of rooster tenderloins within the place of chunks of rooster thighs use a 3 minute strain cooking time with a 5 minute pure strain launch (contemporary or frozen).
• This recipe might be gluten-free for those who use gluten-free soy sauce.
• I used my 6 quart Immediate Pot*. It’s also possible to make this in a 3 or 8 quart pot.
• Retailer leftovers in an hermetic container* within the fridge for as much as 5 days or within the freezer for as much as 3 months.
• Different recipes you may make with molasses are Boston Baked Beans and 100% Entire Wheat Bread and Ginger Cookies.
