    White Chicken Chili

    Chili to me is always red and tomato-based. This is more like a chicken soup with yummy spices and a little kick, but delicious nonetheless!

    Ingredients For White Chicken Chili

    • Chicken breast
    • Flavor enhancers: yellow onion & garlic
    • Canned goods: white beans, corn kernels, diced chilis
    • Chicken broth: every instant pot recipe needs a liquid! Plus it adds a ton of flavor. Look for low-sodium broths if possible.
    • Spices: cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt and pepper
    • Lime juice: to make all the flavors pop
    • Optional toppings: cilantro, cheddar cheese, avocado, yogurt, green onions

    How To Make Chili In A Pressure Cooker

    Raise your hand if you used to be scared of your Instant pot 🙋🏼‍♀️ Turns out, it's a life saver and incredibly easy to use.

    1. Saute

    Using the saute setting, cook onions, garlic, diced chilis, and seasoning until fragrant. Add beans and corn over mixture, layer the chicken on top, and pour in the broth. 

    2. Cook

    Cook on high pressure for 20 minutes and allow 10 minutes of natural release. Then turn the valve to Venting.

    3. Season

    Shred the chicken, squeeze in lime juice, and add optional toppings. Stir everything together and enjoy!
