Pressure Cooked Frozen Chicken Legs and Veg with Onion Gravy in a NinjaFoodi


Portions: 2


Ingredients

  • 2 Chicken Legs
  • Carrots & Other Veg (I'm using mushrooms and mini corn cobs)
  • Asparagus
  • Butter
  • Garlic
  • Small Onion (finely chopped)
  • 500ml of hot water
  • Gravy Granules

Equipment

  • Electric Pressure Cooker (I'm using a Ninja Foodi)
  • Small pan for the gravy
  • Frying Pan
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Sieve

Instructions

  1. Mix to small teaspoons of Chicken Gravy Granules in to 500ml of water and pour in to your pressure cooker bowl


  2. Place your (Frozen) Chicken Legs in to the pressure cooker


  3. Set the Temperature to High and the Time to 15 minutes



  4. Prepare whatever vegetables you fancy for you meal


  5. If you're having some Asparagus then wait until there is 5 minutes cooking time left and then add the butter, garlic and Asparagus to the frying pan and start to cook it



  6. When the time is up on the pressure cooker, stop the cooking and release the steam!


  7. Remove the chicken breasts from the Pressure Cooker and put to one side


  8. Add your vegetables to the Pressure Cooker


  9. Either add the Chicken Legs back in to the Pressure Cooker to finsish them off or if like me you like the skin crispy, wrap them in tin foil to keep them warm and then crisp them up in the air fryer function.

  10. Set the Pressure Cooker temperature to High and set the Time for 3-4 minutes (depending on how soft you like your veggies)

  11. When the time is up, release the steam!  Then strain the vegetables over a saucepan.


  12. Keep the veggies that you have just strained warm (I put them in a dish/bowl with a bit of tin foil on the top)

  13. Add the chopped onion to the saucepan and heat up to a gentle simmer


  14. The onions will slowly start to soften.  Check the consistency of the gravy and add more Gravy Granules until it is at the thickness you prefer


  15. When the onions have softened and the gravy is nice and thick, you are ready to dish up!



  16. Serve and enjoy!

New ALDI Gravy and Nacho Sauce to try

This weeks ALDI Special Buys are:


Cooking for one means I don't often get to make gravy from scratch so I rely on gravy granules so looking forward to trying out the new Bramwells Hints of Chicken & Stuffing Flavour ones and I make Nachos every now and again too so this new sauce mix could be interesting.

ALDI Ashfields Garlic and Herb Chicken Kievs


Cost at time of review: £1.99        Purchased From: ALDI


I had the 3 cheese version the other day so time to try the garlic and herb version to see if it's of the same quality.

The Stringless Beans were on offer at Tesco making them cheaper than the ones at ALDI on this occasion.  Stringless beans are part of the same family as Runner Beans so I know I'm going to enjoy them.


As I've said previously (for me) it doesn't matter if I have some 'budget brand' Kievs like these from ALDI or more 'luxurious' ones from Waitrose, whatever filling in the centre always seeps out and these were no exception.


I even tried lowering the temperature a bit on my Tefal 9 in 1 Air Fryer, but it still leaked out.  I decided to grab some clover light and a tiny squeeze of garlic and melt it in the saucepan that had my stringless beans in and have it to dip the Kiev in.


A tiny bit of gravy on the stringless beans and we're good to go...


The Ashfields Garlic and Herb Chicken Kievs were equally as good as the three cheese one I tried the other day.  Don't get me wrong, they're not in the same league as one that costs 2 or even 3 times more, but at around £1 a portion they are amazing value for money and well worth a buy.


Equally as good as the 3 cheese ones I had the other day, so once again a very strong 3 stars out of 5 so I will definitely be buying these again.
