Instant Pot White Chicken Chili

Easy 5 minute Instant Pot white chicken chili that tastes amazing and is my family’s favorite dinner! Dump all the ingredients in and it’s a healthy pressure cooker chili packed with flavor and really cheap to make too!

I’m back with this easy Instant Pot white chicken chili dinner, one of our favorite Instant Pot recipes! I think I have used this every night since I got it trying new dishes and recipes that just sound good, or I’ve made in my crockpot and know it can now get done faster with this awesome pressure cooker. Tonight I tried this white chicken chili I had made in my slow cooker in the past, it only needed 5 minutes to cook, and it was delicious! We are big chili lovers and my youngest loves anything with chicken so it’s a winner all the way around, healthy too which I love. Here’s the easy recipe you’ve got to try yourself. (originally published 3/17)

I love easy dinners I can throw together and this one is easy when all I really have in the fridge are a few chicken breasts.

I don’t even have to precook the meat which I love because it’s quicker, and did I say it only took 5 minutes for this pressure cooker chicken chili to cook in my Instant Pot??!! Super quick and just enough heat for everyone.

Of course you can add more with a bit of chili powder but the salsa verde offers the perfect amount for us. Serve with a side of rolls and top with some sour cream and a slice of avocado and it is delicious.

This is what you need to make this easy Instant Pot White Chicken Chili recipe, and a video showing how we do it

1. Boneless skinless chicken breasts – could use diced chicken thighs too
2. Chicken broth
3. Onion
4. Corn
5. Salsa verde
6. White beans
7. Garlic
8. Diced chiles – we like mild
9. Any toppings you like – we like sour cream, cheese and avocado

• Just like that it is another easy Instant Pot recipe that I can throw together during the week…and pretty healthy too!!

I would use fresh corn kernels during the summer to give it a bit of added texture and freshness, but during the winter months canned corn is great too.
