I adapted this recipe for estofado de pollo (AKA pollo guisado) from one of my mother’s Puerto Rican specialties to be made in the Instant Pot or pressure cooker. It has a wonderful vinegary taste with a light red sauce. It can be made with chicken breasts or thighs or a combination of both. My family likes to eat it over white rice, but it can be enjoyed on its own.
