Instant Pot White Chicken Chili
This easy Instant Pot white chicken chili recipe is incredibly flavorful, warming, and creamy. It's ready in about half an hour for a low-effort and cozy meal!
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 large chicken breasts boneless skinless
- 2 (14 ounce) cans white beans drained
- 2 (4 ounce) cans mild green chilies
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 4 ounces cream cheese (1/2 block Philly) softened
- Salt & pepper to taste
Toppings (optional, to taste):
- Lime juice
- Avocado chopped
- Cilantro chopped
- Mexican cheese blend
- Tortilla strips
Instructions
- Add the olive oil and onion to your Instant Pot. Sauté the onion for 4-5 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic.
- Add the remaining chili ingredients to your Instant Pot except for the cream cheese.
- Give it a good stir, close the lid, set the valve on "sealing", and cook on high pressure for 8 minutes. It'll take about 10 minutes for the Instant Pot to get up to pressure. I like to prep the toppings while it's getting up to pressure and cooking.
- Once the countdown has finished, do a quick pressure release.
- Take the chicken out of the Instant Pot. Add the cream cheese to the Instant Pot and press the "sauté" button so it heats through. Meanwhile, shred the chicken using 2 forks. Stir the chili until the cream cheese nicely incorporates into the sauce (this may take a few minutes). Add the chicken back into the Instant Pot and give it a good stir. Season with salt & pepper as needed.
- Serve chili into bowls and top with desired toppings.
Notes
- I used about 1 pound of chicken breasts in this recipe. Feel free to use chicken thighs instead.
- If you want to double the recipe, keep cooking time the same.
- Makes 4 generous portions (especially with toppings).
