Instant Pot Indian Butter Chicken Recipe

Instant Pot Indian Butter Chicken Recipe

I have never, ever made Indian food at home.  Indian cuisine is so mysterious and elusive.  I never dreamed I could actually recreate those amazing flavors in my kitchen.  Well, never underestimate the Instant Pot.  My cousin Heather shared an Instant Pot Indian Butter Chicken Recipe.  My family devoured it.  I served it with brown rice and it was a filling and hearty meal.  Even with the extra step of removing the chicken and blending the sauce, it was still a simple weeknight meal.  You can add some cayenne if you like a little heat.

I don’t usually keep fresh ginger on hand because I don’t use it often.  I’ve found that the stir-in paste works great for this reason.  Gourmet Garden has a great ginger paste (and garlic too!).

Serves: 6 Prep Time: 15 minutes Cooking Time: 6 minutes

Ingredients

  • To start:
  • 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic (you can use the paste if that makes more sense than keeping fresh garlic)
  • 2 teaspoon minced ginger (you can use the paste if that makes more sense than keeping fresh ginger)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 3 chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total), cut into 1 inch cubes
  • To finish:
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place the tomatoes, broth, spices in the Instant Pot and give it all a good stir.
  2. Add in the chicken and stir again, trying to cover the chicken as much as possible.
  3. Lock the lid into place and seal the steam release handle.
  4. Cook on high pressure, manual, 6 minutes.
  5. Natural pressure release 5 minutes.
  6. Quick release.
  7. Open the pot and remove the chicken pieces, leaving as much of the tomatoes as possible.
  8. Blend together the tomatoes, broth, and spices either using an immersion blender or removing and blending in a blender.
  9. Add in the butter, cream, milk, and garam masala and stir until incorporated.
  10. Add the chicken back in and heat through.
  11. Serve and enjoy!
