    Place the Ninja™ Foodi™ NeverStick® 6.5-Quart Stock Pot over high heat. Add the water and salt and bring to a boil. Add the chicken and reduce heat to medium. Cook for 30 minutes, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

    When chicken is cooked, use tongs to carefully remove the chicken from pot and transfer to a plate or cutting board.

  • Step 3

    Use two forks to shred the chicken, then set aside. Transfer the liquid from the pot to a large bowl and set aside.

  • Step 4

    In a small bowl, add the flour and curry powder and mix until evenly combined.

  • Step 5

    Return the pot to medium heat and add the onions, celery, and butter. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables soften. Add the reserved liquid and prepared curry mixture and mix until evenly combined. Add the shredded chicken and simmer the mixture for 10 minutes, until thickened.
