Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl combine coconut milk, peanut butter, lime juice, ginger, tamari, honey, sesame oil, garlic, curry powder, cumin, garam masala and red pepper flakes. Whisk all together until smooth. Add chicken.

MAKE IT NOW

  1. Add chicken and sauce to either the instant pot or crockpot and cook as directed below.

MAKE IT A FREEZER MEAL

  1. Transfer chicken and sauce to a labeled container or freezer bag and freeze.

COOK IN INSTANT POT

  1. From frozen, transfer chicken and sauce into an instant pot. Add in 1/4 cup water or chicken broth. Cook for 15 minutes at high pressure then allow 10 minutes for natural release.
  2. From thawed or freshly made, transfer chicken and sauce into an instant pot. Cook for 12 minutes at high pressure, then allow 10 minutes for natural release.

COOK IN CROCK POT

  1. From thawed or freshly made, transfer chicken and sauce into slow cooker. Cook on high for 4 hours or low 6 hours.

SERVE WITH

  1. My favorite way to serve this is in lettuce cups with chopped fresh cilantro and peanuts on top, but this is also great served over rice, in burritos, or on a salad.
