Description

Tender bites of chicken in a creamy, spicy sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/2 tsp black peppercorns
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp coriander
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp garam masala
  • 2 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup plain greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup hot sauce (I like Frank’s)
  • 2 Tbsp cornstarch
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Use kitchen shears to trim thighs of excess fat. Cut the thighs into 1 inch chunks. Add to the Instant Pot.
  2. Add in peppercorns, cumin, coriander, chili powder and garam masala. Stir so that the chicken is coated in the seasonings. 
  3. Pour in the water and soy sauce.
  4. Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 3 minutes. When time is up let pot sit for 5 minutes and then move valve to venting. Remove the lid.
  5. In a bowl whisk together the yogurt, hot sauce and cornstarch. Dip a measuring cup into the Instant Pot and retrieve about a half cup of the hot liquid. Stir it into the yogurt mixture. 
  6. Pour the yogurt mixture into the Instant Pot. Stir. Turn Instant Pot to saute setting. Stir and once sauce has thickened turn off Instant Pot.
  7. Add salt to taste, if needed. Serve chicken and sauce over hot cooked rice or with naan bread.
