Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds chicken thighs
  • Salt and Pepper as desired
  • 1 tbs olive oil
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon Sea Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ¼ cup Almond Butter
  • ¼ cup unsweetened dried cherries or raisins
  • 1 pound baby carrots
  • cilantro to garnish, optional
  • silvered almonds to garnish, optional
  • 4 cups riced cauliflower

Instructions

  • Turn Instant Pot onto “Saute.”
  • Add olive oil, onions, and garlic, and stir to lightly brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Push onions and garlic to the sides, and place chicken thighs down in pot. Allow to brown, and then flip.
  • Add chicken broth, almond butter, and seasonings, and then stir to spread out in the pot.
  • Add the carrots and dried cherries, and then cover the pot.
  • Turn off “Saute,” and then set to Manual mode for 8 minutes.
  • While the chicken is cooking, cook cauliflower rice to taste. Lightly seasoning the cauliflower with salt, pepper, and lemon juice pairs well with the flavors in this chicken.
  • Serve chicken over a bed of cauliflower rice.
