Instant Pot Plum Chili Chicken

We all own an Instant Pot by now right? I’ve had mine about 3 years and I still love it. I’m always on the lookout for new recipes (other than risotto, which by the way I need to blog that recipe!) and I found this Plum Chili Chicken in The Essential Instant Pot Cookbook. The downside to an Instant Pot is that a lot of recipes are soups and stews, or heartier foods that I’m not in the mood for during the heat of the summer. I was thrilled with this Plum Chili Chicken because it had a ton of flavor and is served with rice and broccoli. Perfect for summer when you don’t want to be stuck over a hot stove!

The recipe could not be easier. Mix together the sauce ingredients, place sauce and chicken in Instant Pot, let IP do it’s thing.

It’s plum jam, water, soy sauce, sambal oelek, ginger, green onions, and garlic. If you can’t find plum jam, apricot jam would work nicely here, too.

I sliced the chicken into bite-sized pieces and poured the sauce over it, so it would really be coated and flavorful. Serve over rice with broccoli or try it with some spiralized veggies! The recipe isn’t very spicy as is, so feel free to add more sambal oelek, sriracha, or hot sauce to the finished dish if you like it spicy!

Chili-Garlic Shrimp with Coconut Rice and Snap Peas

Meals that come together quickly, but bring so much flavor are winners in my book. This Chili-Garlic Shrimp with Coconut Rice and Snap Peas takes under 30 minutes to make! The bonus with this recipe is that you make more shrimp than you need and you can freeze the rest to make this dish again or use in other dishes. This shrimp recipe is one of the best I’ve ever made. It’s spicy from chile paste and sweet from a touch of brown sugar. I could just eat a big bowl of the shrimp by itself!

Caramel Sea Salt Shrimp + Bonus Recipe

When I was approached by Private Selection to see if I’d be interested in sampling their new finishing butters, I think it took less than a millisecond for me to say yes. Um, butter? And you have six flavors? And you want me to taste them? Yes, yes, yes! One of my favorite things on earth is a toasted piece of bread with fancy butter on top. My mom makes a concoction with butter, Parmesan, oregano, and basil and I could eat my weight in it. Not only is fancy butter great for spreading, but it can be the finishing touch on so many meals. I wanted to get creative and use one of the sweet butters for a savory dish, so Caramel Sea Salt Shrimp was born!

Slow Cooker Butter Chicken

I have such a weak spot for butter chicken. I adore this dish. It appeared on the blog about this same time two years ago. I swooned when I saw Slow Cooker Butter Chicken on Half Baked Harvest. I love letting my slow cooker do the work for me. It’s so easy to throw your ingredients in and let it cook away while you do other things. This version has a lot of different ingredients from the first version I made, so I couldn’t wait to taste how it would turn out.

Slow Cooker Thai-Style Peanut Pork

Over two years ago (am I slow or what?), my friend Beth over at Eat. Drink. Smile. held a slow cooker contest and the winner was this Slow Cooker Thai-Style Peanut Pork. It sounds absolutely amazing and I’ve had it on my brain for a long time. Now that it actually feels like Fall in Nashville, it’s slow cooker time! I love using my slow cooker because it pretty much does all the work for me and fills my house with the most incredible smells. The hard part is waiting eight hours to eat!

Shakshuka

So what the heck is Shakshuka, you ask? It’s an Israeli dish of eggs cooked in a tomato sauce or maybe you’ve heard of Eggs in Purgatory. You all know how much I cannot resist a meal topped with a delicious runny egg, so when I saw this in my latest issue of Cooking Light, I had to make it the very next day. I was mostly intrigued because at 305 calories per serving, it included 1/2 cup of rice, 1 cup of the sauce, 1 egg, and some feta. That’s quite a lot of food!
