Chicken, squash and sweet potato stew

Unlike a slow cooker that stays on low and slow all day, the pressure cooker is handy for locking in flavours and drastically reducing your cooking time. So you can make a delicious stew like this one in a fraction of the time. If you’d rather make it in a regular pot, follow same instructions and just cover and simmer for 40 minutes, instead of 20.
