This Green Chicken Chili is super flavorful and a little spicy. Best of all, it comes together quickly in the Instant Pot!

Like so many others out there, I received an electric pressure cooker for Christmas! Based on my observations on various social media channels, I know that the Instant Pot was a very popular present to give and receive. My parents picked up this Farberware model for me.

I'm just a little bummed that I waited this long to start using an electric pressure cooker. They're so convenient! I love that you can throw an entire meal in there and have it on the table in like half an hour, with hardly any effort on your part.

This chili is as convenient as that, too. Just sauté some vegetables right in the pressure cooker before adding the rest of the ingredients, locking the lid, and stepping away. A little more than half an hour later and you have a seriously delicious chili. I've made it twice in the past two weeks. And since there are only two of us in the house, we get to have leftovers throughout the week. Perfect.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 jalapeño pepper minced, seeds and ribs removed (leave the seeds and ribs for a spicier chili)
  • 2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 4.5 oz can diced green chiles
  • 15 oz can green enchilada sauce
  • 15.5 oz can cannellini beans drained and rinsed
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • shredded cheddar cheese optional
  • sour cream/Greek yogurt optional
  • tortilla chips optional

Instructions
 

  • Add the olive oil to your electric pressure cooker insert. Using the sauté/brown function, heat the oil and cook the onions, garlic, and jalapeño for 3-4 minutes. Add the cumin and oregano and sauté for another minute or two.
  • Add the chicken thighs, diced green chilis, enchilada sauce, cannellini beans, chicken broth, and frozen corn to the pressure cooker insert. Place the lid on and lock it. Cook for 25 minutes on high pressure. Allow the pressure to release naturally.
  • Open the pressure cooker and remove the cooked chicken thighs to a plate. Shred with two forks and return to the chiil. Taste, and add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Ladle into bowls and top with cheese, sour cream/Greek yogurt, and crushed tortilla chips (we like multigrain), if desired.

Notes

Notes: A few readers have mentioned, via Facebook and Reddit, that this chili is a bit on the thin side. You can feel free to reduce the amount of chicken broth that you use if you prefer a thicker chicken chili.
