My whole family loves this recipe. It reminds us all of the one we get from our favorite local Indian restaurant. And, this recipe is Paleo, Keto, and Whole 30 friendly, as well! And it is easy to make dairy-free. FYI, last time I made it I left myself a note to make extra for leftovers.
Ingredients:
1 Tbs butter or ghee
2 Tbs coconut oil
1 medium onion
1 Tbs garam masala
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp ground pepper
6 garlic cloves
2 inch piece of ginger
1 24 oz can of organic tomatoes
2 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
2 tablespoons almond or cashew butter
1 scoop Perfect Bone Broth
1/2 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup water
Directions:
1. Food Prep. This is important. Learn from my mistake – have all ingredients prepped and ready before beginning to saute in your instant pot. Cube the chicken and peel and dice the onion, ginger, and garlic. Gather the spices and the rest of the ingredients so they’re handy before you begin sauteing.
2. Melt the butter and coconut oil in your instant pot on the saute setting. Add the onion and saute until soft.
3. Add the spices and stir a bit until it is good and fragrant. Turn off the Saute function. add the metal riser if you have one to keep the chicken from sitting directly on the bottom and burning.
4. Add the tomatoes, ginger, garlic, water, and Perfect Bone Broth .
5. Add the chicken making sure it is basically covered it in the mixture.
6. Lock it, seal it and set the cook time for 10 minutes.
7. When the timer goes off, release the pressure right away.
8. With a slotted spoon, remove as much of the chicken as possible from the sauce.
9. Add the coconut milk and nut butter and stir a few moments.
10. An immersion blender works best to blend this into a sauce. You can use a blender but it has to be done in a few small batches. You can blow the top off the blender from the heat pressure.
11. Add the chicken back into the sauce and it is ready to serve!
