One day I decided to learn how to pressure can chicken. I had bought some chicken tenders that were on sale and instead of vacuum sealing them and freezing them, I wanted to make them shelf stable. I decided to marinate them first and let them sit overnight.
I grabbed some jars out of the pantry
and my funnel
I cold packed the chicken, I personally like to cut out a step of cooking the meat first, the time and temp in the pressure canner will take care of that
I wiped the rims and grabbed a lid out of my pan of simmering water
I hand tightened a band on the jar
and processed the jars for 90 min at 11 lbs
after letting them cool down, I wiped the jars and set them in the pantry
next time I won’t marinate the chicken, the meat gives off a lot of liquid during the canning process. Other than that it came out awesome and we use it for Alfredo and stir fry’s, it works great for them.
Here is a good website for instructions for canning different types of meat

The meat is fully cooked inside the pressure cooker?
yep, if you look at the link at the bottom if gives you processing times for raw and hot packing
