Healthy Costa Rican Chicken & Camote (Pressure Cooker)

Healthy Costa Rican Chicken and Camote made in the electric pressure cooker is another quick and easy recipe that produces a very nutritious meal. Not only is this dish packed with nutrients, but it is extremely affordable too!
Camote (local sweet potato) is naturally sweet, so it complements the savory flavors of the chicken perfectly. The pressure cooker ensures the meat is tender and the flavors are well-blended in a fraction of the time.
To brighten up the plate, we recommend serving this with a colorful slaw or a fresh fruit salad to increase the visual presentation of the dish. It’s a cheap, easy, and healthy way to feed the family!
