Instant Pot Ginger Turmeric Chicken Stew instantloss.com

This is a rustic style chicken stew with ginger, garlic, and turmeric. However, you can boost its powers even more by adding a little miso or stirring in fresh spinach at the end. 

Did you know there are foods that have been proven to give our immune systems a boost? 

Garlic is a plant in the allium (onion) family. Scientists have found that most of garlic’s health benefits are caused by sulfur compounds (allicin) formed when the clove is chopped, crushed, or chewed. These compounds have been shown to boost the disease-fighting response of some types of white blood cells in the body. When these compounds encounter viruses, such as the viruses that cause the common cold or flu. 

Ginger is a strong antioxidant that can naturally boost the immune system. It can help kill cold viruses and is packed full of beneficial vitamins like magnesium, iron, zinc, and calcium. 

Turmeric helps bolster the immune system by increasing the immunomodulating capacity of the body. It’s a yellow colored warm spice that comes from the root of the curcuma plant. Curcumin, a compound found in turmeric is know to have anti-inflammatory properties that help boost immunity

Instant Pot Ginger Turmeric Chicken Stew

Servings 4
Author Brittany Williams

Ingredients

  • 1 large yellow onion, diced
  • 1 head of celery, roughly chopped
  • 3 large carrots, roughly chopped
  • 1 1/2 pounds baby creamers, cut in half
  • 1 medium sweet potato, roughly chopped
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, 1/2 inch cubes
  • 6 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons coconut aminos or low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 2 teaspoons turmeric
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 cups low sodium chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley or chives, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat your Instant Pot using the SAUTE function on the display panel. 

  2. When the display reads HOT add the onion, celery, and carrots to the pot. This is called a dry sauté, use the vegetables natural water content to cook them down. Stir every couple minutes until the vegetable soften and the onions begin to become translucent, about 5 minutes.

  3. Add the potatoes, chicken breasts, and garlic cloves. Stir and let the garlic become fragrant, about 60 seconds. Add the coconut aminos, ginger, turmeric, dried parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Give everything a good stir and then add the broth

  4. Place the lid on the pot and make sure the pressure valve is in the sealing position. 

  5. Using the display panel press the CANCEL button. Select the MANUAL/PRESSURE COOK button and use the +/- buttons until the display says 6 minutes. 

  6. When the pot beeps to let you know it's finished, let the pot naturally release the pressure for 5 minutes before switching the pressure valve to the venting position. Once the steam has released and the pressure lock has disengaged, open the lid and serve. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives if desired. 

Recipe Notes

I like salt so I add a bit of extra sea salt when the stew is finished. Salt to taste.

    I made this last night and the entire family loved it! I substituted russet for sweet potatoes, ground ginger instead of fresh and frozen chicken thighs (this is what I had and I wasn’t about to run to the store!).

    This was absolutely delicious. It’s the first recipe of yours that I’ve tried and I will be doing more. My husband thought it tasted like a Carribean roti…so delicious. The only problem I had was I left it in the pot after and my potatoes (which I only had regular ones) turned to mush, which also soaked up most of the broth, so I had to add more. I will be more watchful of when the pot is done next time, manually release the pressure and remove the stew right away. Thanks for sharing this.

    – What is a baby creamer?
    – Does this mean like a whole package of celery? Or one stalk?

      Hello Leah, Baby creamers are a type of small potatoes. I usually purchase mine at Costco. This recipe calls for a head of celery, which is the whole thing, made up of lots of celery stalks, all attached to one another. Hope that helps answer some of you questions. Wishing you wellness 🙂

      Yes you would have to change the cook time and it would depend on how many pounds of chicken you are using

    This was excellent. The whole family enjoyed it. One tweak I made was to add a half a cup of coconut milk blended with a TBSP of arrowroot to thicken and make it creamier. Great recipe!

      Hello Joann,
      Thank you for reaching out! This recipe serving 4-6. Also, I do not include the calorie count or nutritional information on any of my recipes. All ingredients have different nutritional information so it will always vary depending on the exact ingredients (brands) you’re using. If you need to track nutritional information it’s best to calculate it for each recipe with your own ingredients into a program like MyFitness Pal because it can vary A LOT.
      Wish you all the best!

    This was so good! Felt completely nourished after eating. I’ll go easy on the red paper flakes next time because mine came out pretty spicy. I don’t mind the spice but I don’t think my kids could handle it. Also, super important to roughly chop the sweet potato into large pieces…maybe 4ths. My sweet potato chunks fell to mush but it didn’t ruin the flavor. I stirred in 1/4 can coconut milk after cooking and it made it perfectly creamy and filled the spice level a bit… so soothing. Really loved this! Thanks for sharing!

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! ⁣
