Spicy Instant Pot Chicken Curry will warm your bones on a cool winter night.  It’s quick and easy to make in the Instant Pot and it’s made will pantry staples.  {gluten free}

Instant Pot Chicken Curry

I am so in love with my Instant Pot these days.  I’m really trying to simplify my life, get rid of clutter and streamline my meal planning.  I like to make dishes I know my kids will eat about 90% of the time and experiment with new recipes the other 10%.

I just read a great book that has helped me get my life in order and really have more time for the important things… it’s called A Simplified Life and I highly recommend it. Most of it is common sense but I needed it all laid out in a neat and tidy book to get me to do it.

It was overwhelming at first to think about all the stuff I had to go through and all the items I needed to donate but it really frees up my mind for more creative and important endeavors!

Is my life totally in order now?  Ha!  No way but it’s better.  It’s amazing to think about how much time us moms spend on the meals…from the planning, shopping, unloading, sorting, cooking and cleaning it must take up months each year!

Any way that we can cut time off or streamline the process will give us back time that we can do other things that are more important.  That could be hanging with our kids, date night with the hubs or reading a good book.  Get your time back ladies!

Instant Pot Chicken Curry

The Instant Pot really helps with this because it gives you slow-cooked flavor in 20 minutes.  I know it’s scary with all the pressure in there and you think it’s going to blow up your kitchen but I promise it’s safe. There is a learning curve and you can expect to ruin at least a few recipes before you get it right but it’s so worth it!

Uh yeah, you are going to love this Instant Pot Curry!  What’s not to love about all that creamy, spicy sauce covering tender pieces of chicken?  Even my kids eat it.

I serve mine with rice for the kiddos and cauliflower rice for me and the hubs.  I’m telling you the cauliflower rice works to lower your carbs.  You can’t even tell when it’s bathing in a flavorful sauce.

Course: Dinner
Cuisine: Indian
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 4
Calories: 70kcal
Author: Karen Kelly

Ingredients

  • 4 whole chicken breast, skinless, diced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 tbsp mild yellow curry powder
  • 1 tbsp red curry powder
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 14 oz can light coconut milk
  • 1/2 tsp ginger
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Instructions

  • Heat Instant Pot to saute and add oil.  Add diced onion and cook, stirring until they start to soften about 3 minutes.  Turn off saute function.
  • Add the diced chicken, all spices, and remaining ingredients and give it a good stir.
  • Set Instant Pot to manual High Pressure and close the steam vent. Set timer for 5 minutes.  (If you want fall apart shreddable type chicken set the timer for 10 minutes.)   
  • When the timer beeps, let the Instant Pot release naturally for 10 minutes then turn the valve to venting and carefully remove lid. 
  • Give it a good stir, and serve with cauliflower rice.  Garnish with herbs.

Notes

If you prefer a thicker sauce:
After the chicken is finished cooking remove it from the Instant Pot and turn on the saute function.  In a small bowl mix 1 tbsp cornstarch and 1-2 tbsp water with a fork.  Add to the sauce and cook for a few minutes until it thickens.  Add chicken back in, turn off Instant Pot and serve.

    Looks like one tasty recipe !I don’t have an instant pot but I do have an electric pressure cooker so hopefully will come out just fine. I like that you’ve added a tip on thickening the sauce. I do find a lot of instant pot recipes have really thin watery sauces!

      Ha! It is an interesting process especially when you wonder why in the world you still have clothes in your closet that have not been worn in YEARS! Why do I do that?

    I have a regular pressure cooker from ages ago with the little wobbly top that regulates the pressure. I’ll bet I could make this curry in that too…
