Ingredients

  • 4 whole chicken breast, skinless, diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 tablespoon mild yellow curry powder
  • 1 tablespoon red curry powder
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 14 oz can light coconut milk
  • ½ teaspoon ginger
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ 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 tablespoon cornstarch and 1-2 tablespoon 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.
