PERDUE® FRESH CUTS™ Diced Chicken Breast

Finally Perdue® came out with the brilliant idea to pre-dice their chicken breasts and sell them in a vacuum sealed package. This not only saves me time during cooking, but during clean up as well. 

My favorite part? NO CHICKEN JUICE on my hands!!

PERDUE® chicken is raised entirely without antibiotics, hormones, or steroids (Federal regulations prohibit the use of hormones or steroids in poultry). So rest assured that you’re giving your family the best quality product.

PERDUE® FRESH CUTS™ chicken is also available in strips and thin sliced. So next time you’re shopping for groceries, grab a few packages and let me know which one is your favorite.

Want to know how to make this recipe?

Here’s how that magic is done:

I throw all the sauce ingredients in the pressure cooker and add the PERDUE® FRESH CUTS™ chicken . Give it a stir, lock the lid, and cook on high pressure for 7 minutes.

After the time is up release the pressure and thicken the sauce (details below). Here’s what it would look like:

Yum right?

Now add the veggies:

Close the lid and wait 3 minutes with the machine turned off so the veggies will soften without overcooking.

And voila! That’s it.

Told you it was easy.
