2 lbs. chicken breasts (4 medium – you’ll cut later)
14 oz. diced tomato
4 Tbs unsalted butter (divided in half)
1 Lg. onion, coarsely chopped
3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp sea/kosher salt
2 tsp curry powder
½ cup coconut milk or heavy cream
- Melt 2Tbs. butter in instant pot on the sauté function. Add the onion, garlic, and spices and cook until soft and fragrant. (about 5 minutes)
- Place the chicken breasts on top of the tomato mixture, cover and cook on manual high pressure for 10 minutes. Let the Instant Pot naturally release the pressure. (about 10-12 to get up to temp, 10 minutes cook time, and 10 minutes for natural release)
- Remove the chicken and cut into bite sized pieces (about 1 inch but don’t shred).
- Use and immersion blender to blend the tomato mixture. Add the remaining butter and coconut milk (or heavy cream).
- Return the chicken to the sauce and stir to combine.
I serve this over basmati rice with a daikon & cucumber slaw. You can use brown or wild rice (which isn’t really a rice, it’s a grass) or you can try cauliflower rice.
