Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 2 tablespoons red curry paste, or more to taste
- 1 ½ pounds thin chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch strips
- 1 (14 ounce) can unsweetened light coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce, or more to taste
- 1 tablespoon palm sugar
- 1 cup sliced yellow onion
- 1 cup sliced red bell pepper
- 1 cup sliced yellow bell pepper
- 1 cup sliced orange bell pepper
Instructions
- Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add oil and red curry paste to the hot pot; saute for 30 seconds. Add chicken and mix well with curry paste. Pour in coconut milk. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 2 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
- Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes.
- Unlock and remove the lid. Stir in fish sauce and palm sugar. Stir in onion and bell peppers until well combined. Select Saute function. Bring curry to a gentle boil and simmer for only 2 to 3 minutes to keep vegetables crunchy.
Notes
- If you prefer a thicker curry, add only half a can of coconut milk.
- If you are using thicker chicken breasts, increase cook time to 4 minutes.
- Add more red curry paste for a spicier curry.
