About This Recipe

Ingredients & Prep
Ingredients
Preparation
1

Add the chicken to a large bowl. Pour in the salt, pepper and arrowroot. Stir to coat.

2

Press the “Sauté” button on the Instant Pot. Add the coconut oil.

3

When hot, add the chicken in batches and brown on all sides. Transfer seared chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm. (Do not crowd the pan – this will cause the coating to steam, not sear)

4

In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, ginger, coconut aminos, tomato paste, coconut sugar and coconut vinegar. Return the chicken to the pot and pour the tomato-aminos over. Stir to coat.

5

Close and lock the lid. Press the “Keep Warm/Cancel” button, then press the “Poultry” button. The Instant Pot will be set for 15 minutes.

6

When the time is up, quick release or allow the pressure to release naturally.

7

Unlock the lid, stir in the cashews.

8

Serve over cauliflower rice or stir-fried cabbage and garnish with red pepper flakes, if desired.
