Ingredients

6 boneless skinless chicken thighs, about 1.2 pounds
1 tablespoon curry powder*
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 14 oz can fire roasted diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon salt
1 13.5oz can full fat coconut milk, divided
1 tablespoon garlic oil

Instructions

Place the chicken in the Instant Pot and add in the curry powder, ginger, tomatoes, salt, and milk from the coconut milk. The cream will be at the top, make a small hole and let all the thin milk pour into the pot and save the cream for after the cooking.
Stir together and place the lid on. Hit "manual" and reduce the time to 8 minutes.
Once done cooking, quick release by hitting "cancel" and releasing the pressure valve. Once the pin drops, open the lid. Remove the chicken to a cutting board and add in the coconut cream that was saved and the garlic oil.
Hit "saute" and cook for 10 minutes to reduce and thicken. While that is cooking, chop up the chicken into bite size pieces.
Add the chicken back in and stir to fully coat. Hit the "cancel" button and serve.

Notes

*Check for ingredients if needing to be low fodmap, I have seen some with onion and garlic in them. Trader Joes and Simply Organic are two good ones.

*My brother likes a spicy curry powder that I buy in bulk at a health food store. So go for that if you like spice!

*To make a double batch, double the chicken, curry powder, ginger, add ½ teaspoon more salt, and more garlic. Use the same amount of tomatoes and coconut milk. The cooking time stays the same!

*For stove-top. Place tomatoes, entire can of coconut milk, garlic oil, salt, curry powder, and ginger in a sauce pan. Put the chicken thighs in making sure they are fully covered. Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer- about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook 13 minutes stirring regularly. Remove chicken to a cutting board and leave the sauce to keep cooking. Chop chicken and place it back in the pan. Remove from heat and serve.
