Yield:
6 3/4 cups

Ingredients

  • 2 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces

  • 2 cup chopped tomatoes

  • 1 cup sliced halved onion

  • 1 medium orange or yellow sweet pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces (1 cup)

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon curry powder

  • ¾ teaspoon sea salt

  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • ¾ cup unsweetened light coconut milk

  • Hot cooked cauliflower rice

  • Chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

  1. In a 6-qt. multifunction electric or stove-top pressure cooker stir together the first eight ingredients (through cayenne pepper). Add coconut milk; stir to coat.

  2. Lock lid in place. Set electric cooker on high pressure to cook 5 minutes. For stove-top cooker, bring up to pressure over medium-high; reduce heat enough to maintain steady (but not excessive) pressure. Cook 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
