I am constantly looking for more and more Instant Pot Chicken Breast Recipes to add to my collection and this is quickly becoming one of our faves.

If you are looking for a quick dinner idea that is packed with lots of flavor, then go ahead and give this one a try and let me know what you think!

Although a lot of chicken curry recipes call for chicken thighs, I prefer to use boneless, skinless chicken breast to make mine. This is just a personal preference since I buy a lot of chicken breast and usually have some waiting in my freezer.
