Instant Pot Creamy Sun-dried tomato chicken

This Recipe includes

Main ingredients:

	Fresh or frozen chicken
	Sun-dried tomatoes – sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil
	Heavy cream – crème fraiche or heavy cream, or you can also use greek yogurt if you wish.
	Tomato coulis or tomato paste for that tangy flavor. You can also use ketchup, if that is all you have on hand.

Spices and flavoring ingredients:

	Garlic powder or crushed garlic cloves
	Coriander (cilantro) – fresh or dried coriander for herb flavor
	Thyme
	Olive oil – to sauté the garlic.
	Chicken liquid stock or chicken cube stock in water
	Lemon – to cut into quarters and serve along side

Cooking tips

• Chicken thighs and legs are preferable in this chicken stew but boneless chicken is easier to serve, so you can use either.
• You can substitute heavy cream for greek yogurt for a lower fat substitution.
• Be sure to add the cream/yogurt after the Instant pot finishes cooking the chicken, otherwise the creamy chicken will curdle.
