Tender chicken and shrimp make a flavorful combination that's easy to prepare, yet elegant enough to serve at a dinner party. While I clean the house, it practically cooks itself. I serve it over hot cooked rice with crusty bread and a green salad. —Diana Knight Reno, Nevada

Ingredients

1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 broiler/fryer chicken (3 to 4 pounds), cut up and skin removed
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
1/2 cup white wine or chicken broth
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 pound uncooked shrimp (31-40 per pound), peeled and deveined
Hot cooked pasta, optional

Directions

Combine salt and pepper; rub over the chicken pieces. Select saute setting on a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker. Adjust for medium heat. When oil is hot, working in batches, brown chicken on all sides.
In a bowl, combine the next 5 ingredients; pour over the chicken pieces. Dot with butter. Lock lid and adjust to pressure-cook on high for 15 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then quick-release any remaining pressure. (A thermometer inserted in chicken should read at least 165°.)
Select saute setting; adjust for medium heat. Stir in shrimp. Cook until the shrimp turn pink, about 5 minutes. Serve over egg noodles, if desired.
