This Instant Pot™ lemon chicken coconut chowder recipe is quick and so yummy. The refreshing lemon chicken soup is ready in less than 30 minutes flat, so it is perfect for busy weeknight dinners. The simple, refreshing comfort food meal won't weigh you down.
The chicken soup is made with onion, celery, baby gold potatoes, cauliflower, boneless chicken thighs, turmeric, cumin, chicken broth, coconut milk or heavy cream, and lemon juice. If you use coconut milk, the recipe is dairy-free for anyone who has an allergy or cannot tolerate dairy products. When you're cooking the soup, it's fine if the cauliflower breaks apart – it will add texture and body to the chowder.
Serve the lemony coconut chicken chowder piping hot in soup bowls. You could toss together a fresh garden salad or Caesar salad to serve with it for a complete dinner. And don't forget the hot bread!
