One of my favorite pressure cooker recipe authors is Barbara Schieving.  Author of several cookbooks, she also has a blog called Pressure Cooking Today, which is where the recipe for Pressure Cooker Chinese Lemon Chicken can be found:  https://www.pressurecookingtoday.com/pressure-cooker-chinese-lemon-chicken/

Pressure Cooker Chinese Lemon Chicken 101:

*Zest one lemon before starting the recipe.  Lemons are next to impossible to zest if they've already been cut and squeezed.

*2 lemons should provide enough juice.  If they don't, add enough bottled lemon juice or water to equal 1/2 cup.

*I have never had success cooking the rice with this recipe as the author suggests.  I prefer to cook rice using one of these simple methods that turn out perfectly every time!
