Thai Peanut Chicken Recipe

Today I’m sharing a family favorite dish, Thai Peanut Chicken and how to make it fast in an electric pressure cooker or InstaPot. I shared this recipe last fall on my Instagram stories, but felt it was worth sharing here on my blog too!

This is a great quick meal that tastes even better as leftovers! While in the video I show how to make it in an electric pressure cooker, you can make it in a slow-cooker or even on the stove-top!
