Chicken Merengo

The first time I made chicken merengo it took literally hours and I consider the pressure cooker adaption of this recipe to be the epitome of what pressure cooking means to me; time saving. Use the regular recipe in your regular cookbook first and then try this one. I guarantee you'll stick with this one because there is nearly no difference in taste and if you like to spend time in the kitchen just for the fun of it then you should be running a restaurant.
