Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon fresh minced ginger ((or 1 teaspoon ground ginger))
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest (from 1 lime)
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice (divided, from 1 lime )
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 sweet potato (peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes)
  • 1/4 cup cilantro (for garnish)
  • 4 lime wedges

Instructions

  1. 1

    Add chicken breasts, garlic, ginger, zest and 1 tablespoon lime juice to Instant Pot bowl. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then pour coconut milk around the chicken.

  2. 2

    Cook on high pressure for 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    One pressure cook is completed, release pressure immediately.

  4. 4

    Add sweet potatoes to the Instant Pot bowl and cover for 5-7 minutes. The steam from the chicken will cook the sweet potatoes just enough to be fork tender.

  5. 5

    Remove chicken from bowl and shred with fork, mixer or by hand.

  6. 6

    Add shredded chicken back to coconut mixture and toss to coat. Add remaining lime juice.

  7. 7

    Serve over broccoli rice, cauliflower rice or Jasmine rice with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
