Japanese Chicken Curry | Instant Pot Recipe
This recipe is for the easiest, most authentic Instant Pot Japanese Chicken Curry you will ever make.
One of the really nice things about having a Facebook group where people can post their favorite recipes is that I get to learn from other people. Nancy Moss told us about a Japanese curry and I was so excited about this that I lost no time in ordering the ready-made Curry Paste that I needed for it.
Although I ordered one that said Medium Hot, this was not even remotely hot. This means that it would make an excellent, family-friendly meal. The curry has a bit of a sweetness that I think will really appeal to kids.
One thing that I did a little differently from other recipes I saw out there was that I cut the chicken into bite size pieces, and cooked everything all in one go. This meant that I could throw together chicken, carrots, potatoes, and onions, and cook all of it for 4 minutes under pressure, which makes for a super-quick dinner.

Another fantastic curry dish is my Jamaican Chicken Curry. It's authentic, spicy and done in just 20 minutes!
As you can see from the picture below, everything in the Japanese Chicken Curry cooked perfectly, with the carrots and potatoes done well but not mushy, and the chicken cooked tender but not shredded.

This sounds great! I'm hoping to leave the thighs whole, due to an aversion to touching raw chicken. Any suggestions for adjusting the cook time?

I share your aversion! 10 mins on high pressure will cook chicken just fine
