How to make low-carb Instant Pot coconut chicken curry:

Place the chicken in the Instant Pot and mix in the garlic, curry, turmeric, tomatoes, salt, pepper, and milk from the coconut milk (you’ll add the cream after you’re done cooking).

Hit “manual” and set the time to 8 minutes.

Once done cooking, quick release. Once the pin drops, open the lid (do not open before the pin drops). Remove the chicken, but leave the sauce. Add in the coconut cream and the coconut oil.

Sauté for 10 minutes to reduce and thicken.

Dice the chicken, then add back and stir to combine.

Serve and enjoy!

Pro Tip: If you’re a fan of spice, kick this up a notch with diced red chili peppers. The heat comes from the seeds and ribs (the white lining), so the more you put in, the more heat you’ll kick out.
