South Asian (Chicken) Pot Roast


When my husband is out of town, or I need a quick and easy dinner, this is a recipe I go to. It's not much of a recipe, it's so simple!
South Asian (Chicken) Pot Roast

1 T. oil
1 whole chicken (even frozen!)
4-5 potatoes, peeled and cubed
3 carrots, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch
1 onion, quartered
Salt and pepper to taste
1 c. chicken broth

Heat oil in a pressure cooker. Place whole chicken in the oil and brown all sides. Sprinkle with salt and pepper as you turn. Add chicken broth, potatoes, carrots, and stir a little to combine. Close the cooker and let it cook for 10-15 minutes, depending on the girth of your chicken.

Seriously, that's it. But you can get really creative with this. Change the vegetables. Substitute pasta for the potatoes. Use oregano and cumin with the salt and pepper. Or put an onion soup packet in there. I don't know. Get creative. :)

Enjoy!
