Oh man…I am so excited. I am participating in a “Chicken Challenge” to create a tasty recipe using chicken. Sounds pretty easy right? Usually it is, but when the pressure is on, I get all nervous. Our last recipe challenge was a Lemon Challenge where I made a No Bake Lemon Cheesecake. This time it’s all about Chicken! And it being winter here I was in need of a taste bud vacation! I decided to make this Pressure Cooker Polynesian Chicken Sandwich! If you want to see what everyone else made, scroll to the end to see their tasty chicken recipes!
Need a tropical vacation but can’t leave home? Try this Pressure Cooker Polynesian Chicken Sandwich!
Peaches and Pineapple make up the tropical flavors in this dish as well as a thick slice of grilled pineapple placed right on top.
Don’t have time to slave all day over a stove, this Polynesian Chicken Sandwich is ready in 20 minutes. Seriously. Toss it in the Pressure Cooker, set the table and serve.
I am a HUGE fan of my new Instant Pot Pressure Cooker. My parents gave one to me for Christmas and I use it quite regularly. I’ve learned I can take any crock pot meal and easily convert it to a pressure cooker.
I’ve also learned any baked or stove top dish can easily be converted into a pressure cooker meal.
Think about it…Summer time….no more hot ovens or stoves. Just use your Pressure Cooker. Plus this Polynesian Chicken Sandwich makes a great picnic dish. Whip is up in minutes, then package the buns, pineapple and chicken in separate containers and assemble when you get to your grassy island!
I see this as a win-win. Tasty meal, great date night or family night and a happy full family.
I digress with all this “I love my Pressure Cooker” talk…This Polynesian Chicken Sandwich was as tasty as it looks. A sweet and tangy chicken topped with pineapple makes an irresistible meal.
And as always, any good meal must also be good in left-over form.
Can you picture yourself eating this for lunch the next day at the office? I’m fairly certain everyone will be jealous.
My family enjoyed these refreshing Polynesian Chicken Sandwiches and yours will too. Why not travel, through your taste buds, to a tropical island vacation and whip this up for dinner?!
