Chicken Marsala with carrots

I made this last night and while the chicken was good there wasn't a lot of flavor.  Probably needs the cheese that it calls for in the original recipe... so add something extra to give extra flavor.

3-4 lb chicken (whole) or 4-6 chicken breasts or chicken thighs
1 cup water
1 can cream of mushroom
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 cup sliced onion
1 cup sliced carrot
1/2 Tbs minced garlic
1 Tbs dried basil
1 Tbs dried oregano
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

Prepare the chicken by salt and peppering it.  I score the top and bottom to help flavors seep in.

In the pressure cooker set to saute and add the onions, garlic, carrot, and mushrooms for 5 minutes or until the onion is becoming translucent.  Then add the basil and oregano.  Stir and turn off.

Now pour in the water and cream of mushroom soup (I mix them together first and then add).  Put the chicken in and lock the lid.  Make sure to check that your valve is closed.

Program the cooker on high pressure for 25 minutes if the chicken is completely thawed and 30 minutes if it is slightly frozen and 15 minutes if you are using 4-6 chicken breasts or chicken thighs.  Then push start.

When cooking meat it is said to be a good idea to do a slow release with it so the meat absorbs all the flavors.  You can even leave it all day if you are good enough to prepare it in the morning.

Before serving boil your noodles and serve hot.
