Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, cubed
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces
  • 2 medium sweet red peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 cups fresh cauliflowerets
  • 2 jars (15 ounces each) tikka masala curry sauce
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • Minced fresh cilantro, optional
  • Naan flatbreads, warmed

Directions

  1. In a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker, combine chicken and vegetables; add sauce, water and salt. Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 3 minutes. Quick-release pressure. A thermometer inserted in chicken should read at least 170°. If desired, top with cilantro; serve with warmed naan.

Can you freeze Pressure-Cooker Indian-Style Chicken and Vegetables?

Omitting cilantro and naan, freeze cooled chicken and vegetable mixture in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Microwave, covered, on high in a microwave-safe dish until heated through, stirring gently; add a little water if necessary. If desired, sprinkle with cilantro. Serve with warmed naan.
