Description

This creamy, hearty chicken chili is perfect for a hearty meal that’s on the milder side. Your Instant Pot makes it easy and is ready in about 40 minutes. 


Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1 tbs olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 3 tsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp oregano, dried
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepepr
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 4oz can green chiles
  • 14 oz can crushed tomatoes
  • 14 oz can diced fire roasted tomatoes
  • 14 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 14 oz can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 14 oz can kernel corn, drained
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 4 oz cream cheese

Instructions

  1. Pound the chicken breasts to about 1/2″ thick, pat dry, and generously apply kosher salt – about 1/2 tsp each. Set on a plate in fridge for 15-30 minutes.
  2. Add oil to Instant Pot and set to sauté mode. Once hot, add onions and sauté for 3-5 minutes until translucent. Add garlic and saute for another minute. Press cancel to stop sauté mode.
  3. Add broth, both cans of tomatoes, both cans of beans, corn and seasoning. Gently mix and then add chicken breasts on top.
  4. Secure lid, make sure vent is closed “sealed position” and set to pressure cook on high pressure for 12 minutes.
  5. When the 12 minutes are complete, let the pressure naturally release (do nothing) for 5 minutes, then open the valve to release remaining pressure. When pin drops, remove lid.
  6. Remove chicken breasts to a plate or bowl and shred with 2 forks.
  7. Add cream cheese to the pot and stir until melted in. Then add shredded chicken and stir until well incorporated.
  8. Serve with optional sour cream and tortilla chips.
