Instant Pot White Chicken Chili Recipe

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 small onion
• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into cubes
• 3 tablespoons or 1 packet taco seasoning
• 1/2 -1 cup red salsa
• 1/4-1/2 cup green Verde salsa
• 1-2 small cans of diced green chilies
• 1 can of diced tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1-2 cups chicken broth
• 3-4 cans of white beans (I use Northern beans)

Instructions

Step 1: Set your Instant Pot to the sauté function.

Steps 2-4: Add the olive oil and allow to heat up. Add onions and garlic and cook 2-3 minutes or until garlic is fragrant and onions are translucent.

Step 5: Add chicken and cook until no longer pink. Turn Instant Pot off.

Steps 6-8: In a small bowl, add taco seasoning and red and green salsas. (or you can skip this and the steps below and add to the Instant Pot individually)

Steps 9-11: In a small bowl, add green chilies (I love green chilies and use 2 cans. You can add one can if you prefer), tomatoes and tomato paste.

Step 12: Add chicken broth. I like mine more like soup, so I add 2 cups. If you like it more like chili, add just the 1 cup.

Step 13: Add beans.

Step 14: Add the ingredients from steps 6-8.

Steps 15-16: Add ingredients from steps 9-11. Mix everything together.

Step 17: Close and lock the lid on the Instant Pot and make sure the vent is closed. Set Instant Pot to 15 minutes. Once the 15 minutes are up, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes. Open the vent and release the remaining pressure.
