Instant pot Chicken and mushroom coconut curry

This Recipe includes

Main ingredients:

	Fresh or frozen chicken
	Mushrooms – white button or cremini (brown) mushrooms, but you can also use shitake or button mushrooms.
	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
	Paprika – for that lovely red color

	Olive oil to sauté the garlic

Cooking tips

• Using frozen ingredients like frozen chicken or frozen mushrooms are fine in this recipe as the Instant pot automatically adjusts the time required.
• Chicken thighs and legs are preferable in this chicken stew but boneless chicken is easier to serve, so you can use either.
• 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.
