Instant Pot Sweet Potato Chicken Curry
Instant Pot Sweet Potato Chicken Curry is heaven in a bowl. It comes with a little kick from the spices and a little sweet from the sweet potatoes which nearly melt into the curry to create a thick, rich sauce.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 tsp. ghee or coconut oil
- 1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 lb chicken breast, cubed
- 1 sweet potato, cubed (~2 cups)
- 1 red pepper, sliced or diced
- 2/3 cup chicken broth
- 3 Tbsp. curry powder
- 1 tsp. cumin
- 1 tsp. ground turmeric
- ½ tsp. cayenne
- 1/2 tsp. sea salt
- 1 can (14 oz.) full fat coconut milk
- 2 cups frozen green beans
- Cashews, cilantro & cauliflower rice for serving
INSTRUCTIONS
- Set your Instant pot to the saute setting. Add the ghee, onion, and garlic and saute until onions are translucent.
- Then turn to manual setting and set temp to high. Add the chicken, sweet potatoes, red pepper, broth, curry, cumin, turmeric, cayenne and sea salt. Seal the instant pot and set time for 12 minutes.
- Once time is up, release the pressure by switching from seal to vent. Once pressure is released, remove lid and turn Instant Pot to saute setting. Stir in the coconut milk and frozen and let cook for an additional 2-3 minute or until the green beans are heated through.
- Meanwhile, saute cauliflower rice in a skillet on medium heat with 1-2 tsp. of ghee. Saute until warm and cooked through. Length of time to saute cauliflower rice will depend on if it is in a fresh or frozen state.
- Serve over cauliflower rice and top with cashews and fresh cilantro.
NOTES
**For a thicker curry – mix together 2 Tbsp. of water with 1 Tbsp. tapioca starch. While instant pot is on the saute setting, stir into curry after the coconut milk is heated through and let set for a few minutes to thicken.
