Make restaurant-quality Indian butter chicken at home in under 30 minutes! Join the thousands who have made this very popular Instant Pot Butter Chicken Recipe--which also happens to be a great keto chicken recipe.
Add in chicken thighs or chicken breast.You do not need to add any water. The chicken and tomatoes alone will release a lot of water. If you have an 8-quart pressure cooker, you may want to double the ingredients or add in 1/4 cup of water just to be cautious.
At this point, remove the chicken and set it aside. You will be adding things and blending the sauce into a tomato puree--and you don't want blended chicken in your Butter Chicken.
Once it's cooked and you've puréed and finished the sauce, you'll TAKE OUT half the sauce and save it.
Only then will you put the tender chicken back. This means you now have the lovely buttery tomato-ey sauce ready for the next time you have chicken leftover.
