This Instant Pot Coconut Chicken recipe is a 30-minute meal with only five ingredients. I recommend serving it with cooked rice or cauliflower rice, scallions, and a squeeze of fresh lime for a satisfying and flavorful meal.
A 30-minute, 5 ingredient dish sounds just about right these days. What is it with such busy times? I swear, 2018 just hasn’t slowed down one bit.
Back to this 30-minute, 5-ingredient Coconut Chicken Soup recipe. I used fresh lemongrass and canned coconut as the major flavor ingredients, and then organic, pasture-raised chicken tenders for the protein. For my keto friends, this recipe is absolute perfection (see the video for how to make this Instant Pot Coconut Chicken at the end of this post).
If you don’t like celery, then feel free to substitute carrots or another similar vegetable instead (fennel, onions, and bell peppers would all work okay too). But, in the interest of keeping this recipe to just a few ingredients, I used celery.
You don’t have to serve the soup with rice, scallions, or lime, but it rounds out the meal, in my humble opinion.
