Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 sweet onion finely diced

Instructions
- Saute the Veggies: Set a 6-quart Instant Pot to the sauté function. Add oil, diced onion, and bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes or until onion becomes translucent. Stir in crushed garlic and continue sautéing for 1 minute.
- Add Seasonings, Potatoes, Carrots and Chicken: In a small bowl whisk together the curry seasoning ingredients. Turn off the sauté function and add the carrots, potatoes, and milk. Sprinkle curry seasoning ingredients into the pot and mix until combined in the liquid. Place chicken breasts down into the milk, making sure they are almost totally covered.
