Easy Instant Pot Butter Chicken

Ingredients

  • 6 chicken thighs boneless, skinless, cut into cubes

  • 1 1/2 c heavy cream

  • 1 1/2 c tomato sauce

  • 1/2 onion

  • 5 tbsp butter

  • 1 tbsp minced garlic

  • 1 tbsp chopped ginger

  • 1 1/2 tsp chili powder

  • 1 1/2 tsp cumin

  • 3 tsp garam masala

Directions

  • Turn your Instant Pot to saute, medium, and add butter.

  • When butter is melted add cubed chicken and onion.

  • Cook just enough for chicken pieces to cook just a touch on the outside.

  • Add all other ingredients into your Instant Pot or pressure cooker and mix together well.

  • Put lid on and close steam valve.

  • Set Instant Pot to manual, pressure, low, for 5 minutes. (enough time if cut into bite size pieces, if larger pieces increase time)

  • When done move steam valve just slightly so steam comes out slowly.

  • Carefully lift lid. Serve immediately or leave in pot and set to saute low for just a few minutes allowing the sauce to bubble and thicken a bit if you desire. Turn off and allow to cool a bit and rest if you want sauce to thicken a bit more. Serve with rice and/or naan.
