Time of Preparation: 40 minutes

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients:

1 large chicken
2 sprigs thyme
2 sprigs oregano
Salt and peppercorns
3 leeks, trimmed, rinsed and tied together
4 carrots, peeled and trimmed
2 onions, peeled and quartered
10 red pearl onions, peeled
10-baby red skinned potatoes
1 bouquet garni
1 whole head of garlic

Stuff the cavity of the chicken with the thyme and oregano. Sprinkle in sea salt and black peppercorns. Place the chicken into the pressure cooker; add the aromatic vegetables, potatoes and the bay leaves. Cover with water and set the pressure cooker.

Cook for 40 minutes and release the pressure. Remove the chicken and the vegetables from the liquid and keep in a warm place. Put the pot on to a medium-high heat to boil and reduce the liquid. Once reduced by a third, serve the moist chicken in the broth from the pot with the vegetables.
