Instant Pot Peanut Chicken #Recipe @PegCochran





 Hubby loves anything with peanuts or peanut butter so I decided to try this   recipe for peanut chicken in the Instant Pot.  It tastes not unlike satay with  peanut sauce, which we  both love. I've adapted the recipe a bit to include only ingredients I can find in my local supermarket--the taste did not suffer at all.  This calls for 1 tablespoon of sriracha but I used much less--that would have been way too spicy for hubby.  Start with a little--you can always add more.

 1 ½ lbs. chicken breasts or thighs 
 3 cloves garlic chopped
 1 tablespoon ginger chopped or use ginger paste
 1 teaspoon oil1 13.5-ounce can coconut milk   
 3 tablespoons soy sauce (I used low sodium)
 3 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice 
 1 tablespoon sriracha or sambal olek (I used less)
 ½ cup peanut butter   

 ¼ cup or so of peanuts (optional)


Cut the chicken into 1 inch cubes, sprinkle with salt if desired.

Chop peanuts. 

Set Instant Pot or pressure cooker to the sauté function.  Heat oil and sauté ginger and garlic for one to two minutes.

Add coconut milk, soy sauce, honey or brown sugar, lime juice, sriracha and chicken.  Stir to combine.

Drop spoonfuls of peanut butter on top of chicken mixture.  Do not stir it in.

Set pot to HIGH pressure for 9 minutes (12 minutes if using thigh meat.) Naturally release pressure.
Top with chopped peanuts if desired.

A Park Avenue princess discovers the dark side of 1930s New York when a debutante ball turns deadly in this gripping historical mystery for readers of Victoria Thompson, Anne Perry, and Rhys Bowen.

Manhattan, 1938. Tired of being trapped in the gilded cage of her family’s expectations, Elizabeth Adams has done what no self-respecting socialite would think to do: She’s gotten herself a job. Although Elizabeth’s dream is to one day see her photographs on the front page of the Daily Trumpet, for now she’s working her way up as the newsroom’s gal Friday.

But fetching coffee isn’t exactly her idea of fun, so when veteran reporter Ralph Kaminsky needs a photographer to fill in for a last-minute assignment, Elizabeth jumps at the chance. At the Waldorf Hotel, Elizabeth is tasked with tracking down the season’s “It girl,” Gloria DeWitt, who will be making her society debut. Working her own connections to New York’s upper crust, Elizabeth manages to land an exclusive interview with Gloria.

Then Gloria’s stepmother is shot dead in a Waldorf bathroom, placing Elizabeth at the scene of a headline-worthy scandal: “Murder of a Society Dame.” Now Elizabeth will have to get the scoop on the killer before her good name gets dragged through the gossip columns—or worse. . . .

From a Goodreads Review:

"What absolute fun! Penned with wit, humor and style, MURDER, SHE REPORTED gets my definite, “Yes!”

  2. Yum!
    I don't have (or want)an instant pot so I will have to figure it for simmering.

    1. Mine was a Christmas gift from hubby. And pretty much anything you would do in an Instant Pot you can do on the stove. You'd probably want to reduce the liquid a bit since you don't need it to create steam/pressure.
