Recipe Summary Instant Pot&Reg; Butter Chicken From Frozen

When I wanted butter chicken, but my chicken was frozen, I used my favorite butter chicken recipe (Easy Indian Butter chicken on this site) with some slight changes and pressure cooked it. I like serving this with naan or cooked rice.

Ingredients | Instant Pot Fajitas Frozen Chicken

6 tablespoons salted butter, divided

3 cloves garlic, minced

⅓ cup diced onion

9 ounces frozen cubed chicken

1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce

¼ cup heavy whipping cream

1 tablespoon tandoori seasoning

2 teaspoons garam masala

1 pinch cayenne pepper

¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste

Directions

Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®), select Saute function, and add butter. Add onion and garlic to melted butter; saute until fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Add frozen chicken, then pour tomato sauce on top. Hit Cancel.

Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 30 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, for 15 minutes. Then use the quick-release method to release remaining pressure, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.

Add whipping cream, tandoori seasoning, garam masala, and cayenne pepper; stir to combine. Serve immediately garnished with cilantro.
