I love my Fast Slow Pro by Breville.  It’s a slow cooker and pressure cooker in one <grin>!  If you have all day that’s good, but if you don’t, that’s fine, too.  It’s done a lot of pinch hitting for me on busy days when I don’t have time to be in the kitchen.  Plus, in the summer it keeps the heat out of the kitchen (bonus!).

It’s a one-pot meal that makes a great dish with only a few ingredients.  I encourage you to get creative with this dish as you can add other flavors with additional fruits, veggies or spices.   I find that more is better when it comes to flavor as pressure cooking melds the flavors together nicely.  So don’t be shy!

Pressure Cooker Cherry Chocolate Pulled Chicken #ontheblog #simplecravingsrealfood Click To Tweet

Today I am making pulled chicken with a savory sweet sauce.  Lately, I’ve been using a lot of cherries.  Go figure, it’s summer!  However, you can use frozen cherries all year long.  I love Montmorency tart cherries.  [This post is not sponsored, although I’ve partnered with Montmorency tart cherries in the past.] It’s doesn’t hurt that these ruby-red beauties have health benefits from improved sleep, heart health, exercise recovery and relief from arthritis and gout.

I add apple cider vinegar to this dish, too, which has numerous health benefits, too.
