The traditional way of making haleem is time-consuming as the lentils and legumes are soaked in water overnight and then slow-cooked along with beef or mutton\/goat the next day. Aromatic whole spices are ground into a fine powder and added to the lentil\/legumes and meat while slow cooking. After a few hours of slow cooking, everything is ground coarsely and garnished with lime juice, fried onions, and cilantro. A perfect one-pot meal that is so comforting.<\/p>\n<p>Somedays, I can get really lazy, that&#8217;s when I buy the store-bought Haleem mix: Shan brand that has the whole lentil\/legume mix and the spice mix. In the Instant pot, making chicken haleem is effortless. I just add all the ingredients into the pot and pressure cook for 25 minutes. After pressure cooking, I coarsely grind the chicken and lentil\/legumes using a hand-held blender, and garnish with lime juice and cilantro.<\/p>\n<p>A huge bowl of this amazing haleem is perfect for any time of the day. It&#8217;s healthy and nutritious. Since I&#8217;ve used chicken breasts, it&#8217;s very healthy.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-26201\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instant-Pot-Easy-Chicken-Haleem.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instant-Pot-Easy-Chicken-Haleem.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instant-Pot-Easy-Chicken-Haleem-133x200.jpg 133w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Cooking Video<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Super Healthy Instant Pot Chicken Haleem | Dump &amp; Go Easy Recipe\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/m5C6QxYAByQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe mceNonEditable\" data-rating=\"0\"> \t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instant-Pot-Chicken-Haleem--475x200.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Instant Pot Easiest Chicken Haleem- Easy to make &amp; Healthy Haleem Recipe<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\"><span class=\"xlate\">Recipe Type<\/span>: <span class=\"type\">Main<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cuisine: <span class=\"cuisine\">Indian<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">Thasneen<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Prep time: <time itemprop=\"prepTime\" datetime=\"PT5M\">5 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cook time: <time itemprop=\"cookTime\" datetime=\"PT25M\">25 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Total time: <time itemprop=\"totalTime\" datetime=\"PT30M\">30 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Serves: <span class=\"yield\">5 people<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Boneless chicken, diced- 2 chicken breasts or thighs<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Shan brand Haleem lentil mix- 2 cups<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Haleem spice mix- 3 to 4 tbsp, based on your spice level<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Water- 6 cups<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Cilantro, chopped- 1\/4 cup<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Freshly squeezed lime juice<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Fried onions (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">I always use Shahi Haleem mix Shan brand, the box has the whole lentils\/legumes mix and the spice mix.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Note: Don&#8217;t buy the easy cook haleem mix that has ground lentil\/legumes, it doesn&#8217;t taste that good.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Lentil\/legume mix is a combination of whole wheat, whole barley, urad dal, chana dal, rice &amp; moong dal.
