I've created a lightened up, dairy-free Chicken Tikka Masala with Cauliflower and Peas in the Instant Pot to satisfy my craving for Indian food! This mild curry is made with boneless chicken thighs cooked in a tomato base, with lots of spices and coconut milk. You can serve this with garlic naan or basmati rice on the side (cauliflower rice would work too to keep it low carb!)

This is my favorite way to enjoy eggplant all summer long, hence calling it the Best Skinny Eggplant Rollatini with Spinach. It's decadent, vegetarian comfort food at it's best yet made light with no breading and no frying. So good and better than most eggplant dishes I order at restaurants which are typically fried and loaded with calories.
