This one can be made quickly in the pressure cooker or slow cooked all day. I’ve been using the heck out of my Koch System pressure cooker, slow cooker, and air fryer all in one. I highly recommend this appliance!
Serve this over rice or extra veggies. If you make it let leave a comment or tag me on Instagram so I can see! I hope you all love it! As always the macros are listed below and you can find this in MyFitnessPal by searching: Stay Fit Mom Coconut Chicken Curry in the food database.

This was very good and easy to make! Mine had more of a soup like consistency, is that correct? I was thinking it would have been thicker. I will definitely be making this again!
Hi Sarah! Yes this one isn’t super thick, and more soup like. So good over rice! It’s actually a recipe I make all the time. If you want it thick you could add some corn starch or arrow root powder before cooking.
