- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 lb medium-sized chicken breasts, diced
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp curry powder
- 2 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1 (8 oz) can full fat coconut milk
- 1 head cauliflower, chopped into florets
- 1 red pepper, chopped
- 1/4 cup peanuts, chopped
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 3 cups cooked basmati or jasmine rice
Add coconut oil, chicken, carrots, peanut butter, garlic, curry, turmeric, salt, cumin and coconut milk to Instant Pot in that order. Cook on high pressure 3 minutes and do a quick release of the pressure. Instant Pot will take about 15 min to preheat and the 3 min to pressure cook.
Add cauliflower, then cook on high pressure 0 min (yes, zero minutes! It basically just steams the cauliflower without overcooking it). Do a quick release of pressure (there shouldn't be much), then open lid when safe and stir in red pepper.
Top with peanuts and cilantro and serve alongside a bed of basmati or jasmine rice. Enjoy!
