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

Mix to small teaspoons of Chicken Gravy Granules in to 500ml of water and pour in to your pressure cooker bowl
Place your (Frozen) Chicken Legs in to the pressure cooker
Set the Temperature to High and the Time to 15 minutes
Prepare whatever vegetables you fancy for you meal
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
When the time is up on the pressure cooker, stop the cooking and release the steam!
Remove the chicken breasts from the Pressure Cooker and put to one side
Add your vegetables to the Pressure Cooker
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.
Set the Pressure Cooker temperature to High and set the Time for 3-4 minutes (depending on how soft you like your veggies)
When the time is up, release the steam! Then strain the vegetables over a saucepan.
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)
Add the chopped onion to the saucepan and heat up to a gentle simmer
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
When the onions have softened and the gravy is nice and thick, you are ready to dish up!
Serve and enjoy!
