Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat coconut oil in Instant Pot on Sauté setting. Season chicken with salt and pepper and brown, working in batches, until golden on two sides. Remove chicken to a plate.

    Step 2

    Set aside ⅓ cup onion for serving. Add remaining onion to Instant Pot® and cook on saute setting, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 6 minutes. Add garlic, ginger, and cumin to instant pot and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

    Step 3

    Pour the Swanson® Chicken Broth into the Instant Pot® and stir, scraping brown bits from the bottom of the pan into the broth. Bring to a boil. Return chicken to the Instant Pot® and add the jalapeño. Lock lid and cook at high pressure for 4 minutes. Release pressure manually and remove the lid.

    Step 4

    Meanwhile, in a food processor, pulse the cilantro, peanuts, sugar, and lime juice until a chutney forms. Stir the chutney into the instant pot. Season with salt and pepper. Serve chicken spooned over rice, garnished with the reserved red onion, more cilantro and peanuts.
