Instant Pot Chicken Curry Masterpiece
This recipe is fantastic. I used chicken breasts since it was what I had already (and they were even slightly under-thawed when I stuck them in the pot), and it still turned out excellent. Even my almost-4 year old loved it.
Corrie, the procedure you give in the narrative and the one you give in the 'Instructions' don't match hardly at all! In particular step 4 of the Instructions read "4. Add onions and flour and sauté for s more minute." I was not able to resolve ".. s more minute." from the narrative you give above with the pictures. I think this needs a bit more editing.
