Instant Pot Curry Chicken Stir-Fry

This curry chicken stir-fry comes together in almost no time at all! There’s no need to prep or plan, simply toss all of these ingredients into your Instant Pot Pressure Cooker and dinner is on the table in no time. 

Curry Chicken Stir-Fry instantloss.comAn hour ago the chicken in this photo was a frozen hunk in my freezer. I call my Instant Pot Pressure Cooker, the procrastinators dream because that’s exactly what it is. 

Slow cookers require planning and careful time consideration but with a pressure cooker, you don’t even have to take the chicken out of the freezer! The Instant Pot will take care of all of that for you. I used to think that making healthy meals wasn’t practical because they required so much time. But really, it’s just the planning ahead that I struggle with.

So, how can we put dinner on the table at the last second without much forethought? 

Curry Chicken Stir-Fry instantloss.com

Simple. Keep a few staple ingredients stocked in your freezer and pantry, find 4 or 5 different recipes that you love that require those same ingredients, and you’ll have a multitude of meals you can throw together in a moments notice.

Simple. Easy. Fast. Delicious. 

Don’t worry about this dish being too spicy, it is kid and Grandma approved! My kids love to have theirs over rice.

Curry Chicken Stir-Fry

Servings 4
Author Brittany Williams

Ingredients

  • 1 pound bonless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 13.5 ounce can full fat coconut milk
  • 4 ounces red curry paste, I use Thai Kitchen brand
  • 2 tablespoons coconut aminos or low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon red boat fish sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine ground sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 6 cups frozen stir-fry vegetable blend

Instructions

  1. In an electric pressure cooker combine the chicken breasts, onions, coconut milk, curry paste, coconut aminos, fish sauce, ginger, sea salt, and black pepper and stir with a spoon. 

  2. Place the lid on the pressure cooker. Make sure the vent valve is in the SEALING position. Select the MANUAL/PRESSURE COOK function and HIGH PRESSURE. Use the +/- buttons until the display reads 30 minutes.

  3. When the cooker beeps to let you know it's finished, wait until the display panel reads, LO: 05. Switch the vent valve from the SEALING to the VENTING position, use caution while the steam escapes, it's hot.

  4. Carefully remove the chicken breasts from the pot and set on a cutting board. Stir in the stir-fry vegetables, the residual heat should cook them. Select the sauté function to warm them further, if needed. Cut the chicken breasts into cubes and stir back into the vegetable curry mixture. 

  5. Serve warm. 

Recipe Notes

If using frozen chicken breasts, cook for 40 minutes.

    I can‘t wait to make this! One question – I absolutely despise fish sauce – can I leave it out or substitute something? I know it won‘t taste the same without it, but I‘d like to use something else to come close to it. Thanks for all of your recipes – love them all!

    Thank you SO much for this recipe! I tweaked it a bit as I had frozen shrimp and bay scallops. I cooked for 20 minutes, which could have been even less, and served over rice. It was great! Thank you Brittany!

    Is the time correct at 30 minutes? Other recipes I have used are 10 minutes for cubed chicken breast and 15 minutes for shredded from thawed chicken.

      Yes that is the current time, part of the reason the cook time is so long is to infuse the chicken with the flavor. You can cook it for a shorter amount of time but it will not be as flavorful!

    I made this recipe for my family and it was a hit!! My husband lived in England for a couple years and curry is everywhere there so he loves curry. And I loved that there were veggies in it!! One question though – is there a way to make the sauce a little thicker? We are used to a thicker sauce in our curry and I wondered if you have any tips?

      You can add a little bit of arrowroot powder or corn starch to create a thicker sauce

    I’m so happy I chose this as the first recipe to cook in my new instant pot! It was so easy and delicious! The minimal prep time makes it perfect for a weeknight meal. Just made it a few days ago and my husband has already asked me to make it again. I added some red pepper flakes for more spice and decreased the amount of fish sauce to adjust for personal preference.

    Can the chicken be frozen on this or should you thaw it first? Honestly, I’ve wondered this with many of your recipes (recently bought both your books, very excited to get started).

    Reply
    • Admin Instant Loss says

      March 4, 2020 at 1:12 pm

      Yes you can use frozen chicken in this recipe and you would not need to make any adjustments, though some of my other recipes would need an extended cook time if you used frozen chicken instead of thawed chicken.

    I had dental surgery so some I am making the Acorn Squash Soup.
    Squash was really a “not today” thing, I will though soon. Last weekend I
    ordered it at Panera and loved it. Then I came home and looked it up.
    Wow…not a diet soup after all. So I tried Progress Acorn Squash soup,
    Loved it. So now I will make it your way. Thank you.

    I used yellow curry paste since I did not have enough red. It turned out fine, however for an improvement I too would like the sauce thicker. Also would like a stronger curry flavor. Should I add more curry paste to achieve that?

      You can add more curry paste for a stronger flavor and you could add corn starch or arrowroot powder to make the sauce thicker.

    We are vegetarian and would like this with only veg, how do i do this? Would it just be better to make in a pan? I would prefer to use instapot if there is a way and how much extra veg would you add?

    Reply
    • Admin Instant Loss says

      June 17, 2020 at 2:19 pm

      Sure you could totally make it without the chicken. Without the chicken you could definitely add some lentils, garbanzo beans, or more vegetables to make up for the bulk of the chicken you lose.

We got back home on Monday night and first thing T We got back home on Monday night and first thing Tuesday morning Brady and I got back to it. I’ve learned over the years that not leaving trip indulgences on the trip can be a slippery slope. As soon as we come back home it’s back to our normal grind.⁣
⁣
I ate gluten and dairy-full pizza, ate an ice cream cookie bar shaped like Mickey’s face, there was even a churro in there! In the midst of that most of my meals were still pretty healthy— I ate a taco bowl, a few salads, and tried to drink plenty of water. ⁣
⁣
I’ll be tracking again for a short time as we get back on track, I always do. I’ll post workouts and my food log in stories. If you’re curious to see one of my past back-on-tracks aka BOT, visit my October BOT highlight on Instagram. ⁣
⁣
It’s never too late to start again, you’ve just got to start. I’ve gotten back on track a million times, it doesn’t mean you can’t do it, it just means you’re as human as the rest of us! ❤️⁣
⁣
Warning: my first few days BOT are always lighter food days. I’m usually still feeling a bit overfull so I’m more light snacky. A few days in it always picks back up. These are not meal plans designed for you to follow. This is just what I’m doing and I’m being brutally honest while I do it. ⁣
⁣
Also, we have zero groceries, I’m having some delivered today since we are quarantined for two weeks post trip so today’s food should be more exciting than popcorn, Lentil Flatbread BLT’s, and leftover sweet potato crackers from trip. 🤣
3 1/2 years ago we flew to California to see if th 3 1/2 years ago we flew to California to see if the weather would help alleviate Aveys JRA. ⁣
⁣
Flying had always been an extremely uncomfortable experience for me. I was always too hot and I would have to hold myself very still so I didn’t rub the people beside me. My legs would spill under the armrests onto the other seats. I was always apologizing to those next to me because the seats were just too small. ⁣
⁣
There is a part of me that feels relieved now because my current body size is accommodated. I don’t have to squeeze myself through isles or wear the seatbelt on the largest setting, but I still carry frustration that plus sizes, though making up a large number of our populace, are not accommodated and experience embarrassment and shame while flying.⁣
⁣
So while this is a very real non-scale victory for me, I feel less joy and more motivation to continue to help push for inclusivity and comfort for all sizes. ❤️

I used to think that being smaller was impossible I used to think that being smaller was impossible for me.⁣
⁣
I used to blame my size on my bones, my upbringing, my DNA.⁣
⁣
Even when I wasn’t trying to lose weight, losing weight was always something in the back of mind looming over me. Like this big thing I needed to do but hadn’t checked off my to-do list yet.⁣
⁣
Sometimes it was all I could think about. ⁣
⁣
No one wanted to date me, even though I was a super cool, mega awesome chick. All of my friends had boyfriends and I literally only had boys that were friends. ⁣
⁣
I had back issues that my doctor wrote off as weight issues but they weren’t weight issues, they were actual issues caused by severe muscle separation. But my weight was always the answer.⁣
⁣
I found a different OB after I gave birth to Avey because she told me that if I wanted to have another baby with her I needed to lose at least 80 pounds before she’d take me as a patient again.⁣
⁣
I felt like my body betrayed me. ⁣
⁣
It betrayed me with disease, with miscarriages, still birth, emergency cesareans when I had planned for natural births, rashes, uncontrollable sweating, not fitting into a single piece of clothing at Target and irregular cycles... I could go on.⁣
⁣
It sounds sad when you put it all together like that but I wasn’t sad, well, sometimes I was sad— but it wasn’t part of my character. ⁣
⁣
I spent years trying to escape myself when what I really needed to do was befriend myself. Have enough respect for her to learn how to care for her— because I really didn’t know. And then have enough patience and trust in the new behaviors I was creating to stick with them, even when I wasn’t seeing change fast enough. ⁣
⁣
When I embarked on this health journey in 2017, it wasn’t for weight loss, that was just a happy accident. ⁣
⁣
I was in heavy pursuit of befriending my long neglected body. I knew that if I could find it within myself to care for her she’d have the tools to take care of me.⁣
⁣
And that is exactly what happened.
I love making plant based yogurts! They ferment di I love making plant based yogurts! They ferment differently than dairy based yogurts and need the help of gelatin and a refrigerator to reach true yogurt consistency.⁣
⁣
I have a recipe for Coconut Milk Yogurt on the website (instantloss.com) that is absolutely fabulous but buying canned coconut milk can get pricey. For Budget I developed a recipe using Oat Milk! It’s a tangy greek yogurt style yogurt— add berries, dried fruit, coconut flakes and a little bit of honey and you have an awesome treat! OR use it to make the gluten-free Everything Bagels! ⁣
