30-Minute Chicken & Chickpea Masala - Pressure Cooker

"Entered for safe-keeping, adapted from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt, Chief Creative Officer of Serious Eats. More at: http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2014/01/quick-easy-pressure-cooker-chicken-and-chickpea-masala.html. Kenji's tests said it did not matter if chicken was seared first, and there was no harm to adding the cream to the pot before pressure cooking. This will need at least a 6-quart pressure cooker; Kenji used an 8-quart pressure cooker for testing."
