Pressure-Cooker Lemon Chicken Pasta
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Cook: 25 min.
YIELD: 10 servings.
I was recently prepping for a big race in the mountains of Lake Tahoe area. Normally, to perform at your best, you'd want to eat a lot of carbs and some protein the day before a race. It inspired me to make this very special creamy pasta dish with chicken, mushrooms, artichokes, capers and lemons. —Ilya Khayn, San Jose, California
