Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Instant Pot Coconut Chicken Curry.

1. Step 1

   Start by setting your Instant Pot to the Sauté function and adding a generous scoop of coconut oil.

2. Step 2

   Once the oil is shimmering, toss in the chopped onion and sauté for about a minute until it becomes tender and fragrant.

   Now, it’s time to turn off the Sauté function.

5. Step 5

   Add the drained diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chicken broth, and a sprinkle of white sugar to the pot, mixing everything together until well combined.

   Take each chicken breast and, using a fork, poke a few holes in them to help the flavors soak in.

   Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and the remaining tablespoon of curry powder, then nestle the seasoned breasts into the pot.
