Ingredients

4 servings

4 boneless chicken breasts, diced 2 ½ cups chicken broth 1 (14 ounce) can coconut cream 2 tablespoons coconut aminos 1 tablespoon lime juice 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon ground ginger 1 teaspoon finely chopped Thai basil 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro

Bold Black Pepper Chicken Dish

Instructions

Step 1

Start by adding the chicken, chicken broth, water, coconut cream, garlic chile paste, coconut aminos, lime juice, salt, ginger, and basil to your Instant Pot or any similar pressure cooker. Secure the lid and set it to the Soup or Broth setting, then cook for 30 minutes. It will take about 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build before the timer starts. Once the cooking time is up, let the pressure release slowly for around 10 minutes, then carefully switch to a quick release to let out any remaining pressure. When it’s safe to open, remove the lid and give the soup a good stir. Ladle it into bowls and top with fresh cilantro before serving.

Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove to prevent the coconut milk from curdling. This soup can also be frozen, but the texture may change slightly after thawing.
