Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp coconut oil melted and divided
  • 8 oz chicken breast cubed
  • 1/2 cup light coconut milk
  • 2 tsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 3/4 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • pinch of pepper
  • 1 cup small Brussels sprouts trimmed (halved if large)
  • 1 cup broccoli cut into very small pieces
  • 1/2 red bellpepper cut into very small pieces
  • cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  • Pour 1 1/2 tablespoons of the coconut oil into the IP and turn to sauté mode. Once hot, add in the chicken and cook until lightly golden brown and no longer pink inside, about 4-5 minutes.
  • While the chicken cooks, whisk all the ingredients (and the remaining oil) -- aside from the Brussels sprouts -- together until smooth. Once the chicken is cooked, pour into the IP.
  • Add in the Brussels sprouts, stirring to coat into the sauce. Cover the IP (make sure it's set to sealing) and change to manual mode. Set it at high pressure for 1 minute.
  • Once cooked, immediately do a quick release. Once the steam is released, throw in the broccoli and peppers, stirring to coat. Cover with the lid and let sit 20-25 minutes, or until the veggies are steamed.
  • Garnish with cilantro and DEVOUR

Notes

  • Feel free to use fresh turmeric instead, although you will need to adjust the amount used.
  • Make it vegetarian by using tempeh or tofu instead of chicken!
