Instant Pot White Chicken Chili
One of our favorite pressure cooker dishes is white chicken chili! In comparison to the traditional recipe, this one may be prepared in a far less amount of time.
This dish is incredibly tasty and simple to prepare. Simply combine everything, sprinkle cream cheese on top, and bake for 20 minutes.

F The only preparation required is essentially slicing the onion; the rest is as simple as throwing the ingredients together and leaving.
We’ve cooked this dish a lot over the years, and for the greatest results, we suggest using high-quality, fresh ingredients. Consider using organic meat and get non-BPA lined cans for your beans.
We use fresh chicken breasts, but you could also use thighs. However, we advise using skinless, boneless thighs for this recipe if you’d rather go that route.
With no need to retrieve any bones, it will be simpler to shred after cooking. This dish can be prepared in advance and stores nicely. Serve it alone or add some sour cream and cilantro for the perfect finishing touch!
