Vegetable Oil - 1 fl oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Cut the chicken into serving pieces, or use pre-cut pieces like chicken thighs and drumsticks. Sear them in a hot skillet with vegetable oil until they develop a light crust.

Step 2

Place the chicken in a pressure cooker or large pot, add dried fruits and almonds, season with salt and pepper to taste, and pour in enough water to cover the pieces. If you prefer a sweeter flavor, you can add more prunes. It’s also recommended to use prunes with pits, as they impart a delightful nutty aroma.

Step 3

Cook the chicken in a pressure cooker for one to one and a half hours, until the meat is tender, easily comes off the bone, and has a nice brown color. Serve hot.
