Instant Pot Coconut chicken curry with peppers

This Recipe includes

Main ingredients:

	Fresh or frozen chicken
	Bell peppers – I prefer red bell peppers but you can use green peppers as well.
	Onion, white onion is preferable.
	Coconut milk – but you can substitute for heavy cream or yogurt if you wish
	Tomato coulis or tomato paste for that tangy flavor.

Spices and flavoring ingredients:

	Garlic powder or crushed garlic cloves
	Red chilli powder for that lovely red color
	Dried coriander or fresh coriander (cilantro) for that herb flavor
	Bouillon stock – Liquid chicken stock or vegetable stock. You can also use a chicken stock cube along with water.
	Olive oil to sauté the garlic
	Pinch of salt and pepper

Cooking Tips

• Frozen ingredients are like the chicken or the bell peppers are fine in this recipe as the Instant pot automatically adjusts the time required.
• The traditional coconut curry recipe uses coconut milk, but you can substitute for greek yogurt for a lower fat substitution.
• Be sure to add the coconut milk/yogurt after the Instant pot finishes cooking the chicken, otherwise the coconut curry will curdle.

Why we love it

This particular curry is flavored with coconut milk, which makes it extra creamy. But you can also use heavy cream or greek yogurt if you don’t have coconut milk on hand. The curry itself is mild, so feel free to spice it up with extra cayenne pepper or other hot spices.

What to serve with it?

This Coconut chicken curry with red peppers goes really well with white or brown rice, which you can cook in the rice cooker at the same time. You can also serve it with quinoa or bulger for a change.

Another option is to serve it with bread to dip in the sauce like a baguette or naan.
