Pressure Cooker Chicken Thigh Tacos

I’ve never been a real big fan of chicken thighs until now. I love the way they cook in the pressure cooker! They are so moist and tender, not only that they cook in about 15 minutes. I try to use my pressure cooker at least once a week. It is such a time saver but more than that I really love the results I get with it. I recently moved into a RV park and could only really get about 3 kinds of appliances into the kitchen. Besides my Kitchen Aid Mixer this was my other immediate choice.

Chop up all of your veggies before you start browning the chicken. I used mini sweet peppers in this recipe. I love having those on hand.
