Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken breasts chopped
- 28 oz canned fire roasted diced tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to pressure cooker and stir to combine
- Cover and set lid to seal
- Set to high pressure for 8 minutes
- Timer will start counting down to 8 minutes once the pot comes to pressure (this could take 10-15 mintues)
- Once complete the timer will start counting up for the natural pressure release time, allow for 10 minutes natural pressure release, then turn valve to release to release any remaining pressure
- Once the pin drops on it's own, you can open the pot. Stir to combine!
Notes
- You can use fresh or frozen boneless chicken breasts. If frozen and chopped, add 2 minutes to the cooking time, if frozen and whole add 4 minutes.
- Don't drain the liquid from the tomatoes, it will be needed in order to have enough liquid to pressurize the Instant Pot.
- This can be made in a 3 quart or a 6 quart pressure cooker.
- To save time when making this dish regularly you can quadruple the spices and save them in an air tight jar.
- You can add all raw ingredients to a zipper bag or container and freeze for cooking later. (I love these containers for freezing meals for the Instant Pot)
- If cooked, you can freeze leftovers in an airtight container.
