How to Make Instant Pot White Chicken Chili
This recipe for white chicken chili in the Instant Pot is super easy. To start, you put the chicken, onion, garlic, beans, green chiles, corn, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and chicken broth in the Instant Pot. Cook it on high for 20 minutes.
Next, you'll shred the chicken breasts, and return them to the pot. The next part is crucial in making sure this chili is super creamy. The recipe calls for you to take 1 cup of the broth out of the Instant Pot and put it in a bowl, and mix in the Greek yogurt. This ensures the yogurt doesn't curdle and becomes nice and creamy. Just trust me on this one - it's worth the extra minute of work!
After stirring in the broth/Greek yogurt mixture, the cheese gets stirred in until all melted.
This creamy chicken chili is best served with avocado, diced green onion, a dollop of Greek yogurt, and shredded cheese! You could also sprinkle some cilantro and some diced jalapeno too, if you're feeling it.
