So satisfying, delicious + easy to make, this Red Curry Chicken rivals any Thai restaurant curry dish. I love curry but don’t have a good Thai restaurant nearby, so I created this simple recipe that’s made in the instant pot (btw if you love Thai restaurant-yellow curry, this tastes very close). The spice is mild enough that my kids will eat it too. I use what I like in curry; red bell pepper, shallots, carrot & pineapple, but customize however you wish.

Notes

Reheats well as leftovers. Can use fresh pineapple, if preferred, and pineapple juice from a small can. Omit any vegetables you don’t want and substitute your preferred vegetables (just make sure to slice them thick enough so that they won’t disintegrate into the sauce while in pressure cook mode).
