Instant Pot Butter Chicken

Instant Pot Butter Chicken

This is an easy, healthy recipe and both kids (2 and 8 mo) loved it!! Delicious and  “not too svicy” (aka not too spicy! as Marlie says) Add this to your weekly meal prep. We have been enjoying it for days now.

After looking at a ton of different recipes, and testing this one twice, I found the perfect balance of spices and healthiness! 

I am obsessed with my instant pot. … if you haven’t already noticed!
