Instant Pot® Jamaican Chicken Curry

Instant Pot® Jamaican Chicken Curry

If you can’t go to Jamaica, why not bring Jamaica to you with this lively chicken dish! Jamaican curry usually contains allspice, so look for a blend that has it, or make your own. Even with potatoes in the dish, steamed basmati rice is a great add-on, but feel free to leave it out, or use cauli rice to cut back on the carbs.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons ghee
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  • 2 tablespoons Jamaican curry powder
  • 1 fresh jalapeno pepper, seeded and sliced
  • ¼ teaspoon ground thyme
  • 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 3 pieces each
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 pound baby carrots
  • 3 cups steamed basmati rice

Directions

Step 1
Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Heat ghee. Add onion and cook until starting to turn clear, 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in Jamaican curry powder, jalapeno, thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Step 2
Pour in 1/4 cup of chicken broth, scraping off the browned bits from the bottom of the inner pot. Add chicken pieces, potatoes, and carrots; stir until well coated with the spices and seasonings. Pour in remaining chicken broth. Close and lock the lid.

Step 3
Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 6 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

Step 4
Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions for 10 minutes. Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Serve over steamed rice.

Cook’s Note:

Curry from the island adds heat in the pepper selected for the dish. We like mild-flavored curry, so I used a sliced, seeded jalapeno. If you have a more adventurous palate, choose a serrano pepper or even a Scotch Bonnet, for the truly brave!
