Instructions

Step 1
Place all ingredients into an Instant Pot in the order listed, EXCEPT for the butter, cream and 1 teaspoon of the garam masala, mixing the sauce well before you place the chicken on top of the sauce. If it's frozen, push it into the sauce a bit so it defrosts better.
Step 2
Close the cooker and set for 10 mins on high, and let it release pressure naturally for 10 minutes. After that, release all remaining pressure.
Step 3
Open up the pot and remove the chicken carefully and set aside
Step 4
Blend together all the ingredients, preferably using an immersion blender Add the cut up butter, cream, cilantro, and garam masala and stir until well incorporated. It's best to let the sauce cool just a little before adding the butter and the cream. Adding it into the boiling sauce will make your sauce very thin. If that happens, just put it in the fridge for a little and let it thicken up. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon Take out half the sauce and freeze for later or store in the fridge for 2-3 days Add the chicken back in and heat through. Break it up into smaller pieces if you need but don't shred it. Serve over rice, cauliflower rice,
Step 5
Add the chicken back in and heat through. Break it up into smaller pieces if you need but don't shred it. Serve over rice.
