Our Test Kitchen used sliced peppers and onion to give this tender chicken dinner its attractive look. A homemade sweet-and-sour sauce delivers a hint of orange while slivered almonds offer a nice crunch.

Ingredients

1 broiler/fryer chicken (3 to 4 pounds), cut up
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large onion, halved and sliced
1/2 medium green pepper, julienned
1/2 medium sweet yellow pepper, julienned
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest
2-1/2 cups water
ORANGE SAUCE:
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup sherry or chicken broth
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted

Directions

In a pressure cooker, brown chicken in oil over medium-high heat; drain. Remove chicken to a 30x18-in. piece of heavy-duty foil. Top with onion, peppers, garlic and orange zest. Wrap tightly.
Place on a rack in pressure cooker; add water. Close over securely; place pressure regulator on vent pipe. Bring cooker to full pressure over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-high; cook for 12 minutes. (Pressure regulator should maintain a slow steady rocking motion; adjust heat if needed.)
Immediately cool according to manufacturer's directions until pressure is completely reduced. In a small saucepan, combine cornstarch and orange juice until smooth. Stir in the sherry or broth, teriyaki sauce, brown sugar, butter and ginger. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened.
Remove chicken and vegetables to a serving platter. Top with sauce; sprinkle with almonds.
