Instant Pot Coconut Chicken Curry With Sweet Potato Recipes

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add coconut oil; when hot, add onion and cook for 1 minute. Add 2 tablespoons curry powder and garlic. Mix well and cook for 2 minutes. Turn off Saute function. Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chicken broth, and sugar.
• Poke holes into each chicken breast using a fork. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and remaining curry powder. Add seasoned chicken to the pot. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 10 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions for 10 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
• Remove chicken; use 2 forks to shred the meat and return it to the pot. Turn on Saute function; cook and stir until liquid is lightly boiling, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Turn pressure cooker to Keep Warm. Add coconut milk and stir well; cook for 10 minutes more to allow flavors to come together.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325 degrees. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add oil. Brown chicken pieces, in batches if necessary, until golden all over, 6 to 8 minutes per batch. Transfer chicken to a plate.
• Stir scallion, ginger, garlic and chiles into pot and reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring, until soft, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in curry paste and cook 1 minute. Stir in coconut milk and sweet potatoes. Arrange chicken pieces on top of potatoes, placing breast meat on top. Pour in enough water to come halfway up the sides of chicken. Bring to a boil. Cover pot and transfer to oven. Bake until chicken is cooked through, about 40 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large dry skillet over medium heat, toast coconut flakes until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add mustard seeds and toast until they begin to pop, 1 minute more. Transfer to a bowl and season with a pinch of salt.
• Transfer chicken and sweet potatoes to a platter. Return Dutch oven to the stove and simmer over medium-high heat until cooking liquid has thickened to a saucelike consistency, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour over chicken and potatoes. Sprinkle with the coconut and mustard seed mixture and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing.

Steps:

• Using the sauté setting, heat the coconut oil in the pot of a 6- to 8-quart pressure cooker. Add the onion, season with a generous pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the curry paste and stir until combined, 1 minute. Stir in the brown sugar and turmeric, then add the sweet potatoes, 2 1/2 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover and cook on high pressure for 25 minutes.
• Release the pressure naturally for 10 minutes, then release the remaining pressure manually. Open the lid. Stir thoroughly, allowing some of the sweet potatoes to fall apart and thicken the soup. Add the coconut milk and peanut butter.
• Using an immersion blender, purée the soup. Add the kale and lime juice and stir to combine. Cook until the greens are wilted and tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Taste the soup and add cayenne, more salt, brown sugar, lime juice or curry paste as desired. Serve in bowls with peanuts on top.
