Easy & Healthy Coconut Chicken Curry


  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x
  • Diet: Gluten-Free

Description

A comforting and nutritious coconut chicken curry that’s quick to prepare and perfect for weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast, cubed
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch ginger, grated
  • 2 tbsp curry powder
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Basmati rice for serving

Instructions

  1. Set your Instant Pot to sauté mode. Add the chopped onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until fragrant, around 2-3 minutes.
  2. Stir in the cubed chicken and cook until slightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the curry powder, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat the chicken evenly with spices.
  4. Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth, mixing thoroughly.
  5. Close the lid on the Instant Pot and set it to manual high pressure for 10 minutes.
  6. Once the cooking is complete, allow for a natural release of pressure for about 10 minutes before opening the lid.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro, alongside fluffy basmati rice.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken for tofu or chickpeas, and for a low-carb option, use cauliflower rice.
