Instant Pot White Bean Chicken Chili

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Instant Pot White Bean Chicken Chili.

1. Step 1

   Start by setting your Instant Pot to the Sauté function and adding a splash of vegetable oil.

2. Step 2

   Once the oil is hot and shimmering, toss in the cubed chicken.

3. Step 3

   Sauté the chicken for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it’s lightly browned and deliciously fragrant.

4. Step 4

   Next, add the diced onion and crushed garlic to the pot.

5. Step 5

   Keep sautéing for another 5 minutes, allowing the onion to soften and turn translucent, filling your kitchen with a wonderful aroma.

6. Step 6

   Now it’s time to bring in the flavors! Pour in the vibrant green enchilada sauce, followed by the dry great northern beans, chicken broth, undrained chopped green chiles, oregano, and cumin.

7. Step 7

   Give everything a good stir to ensure all the ingredients are well combined and ready to mingle.

8. Step 8

   Once everything is mixed, securely close and lock the lid of your Instant Pot.

   Select the high-pressure setting and set the timer for 45 minutes.

10. Step 10

    Don’t forget, it will take about 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build before the cooking begins, so sit back and relax.

    When the timer goes off, embrace the magic of the natural-release method to let the pressure release on its own, which should take around 25 minutes.
