White Chicken Chili Instant Pot Recipe

This Instant Pot White Chicken Chili Recipe Is So Tasty, Your Whole Family Will Love It

Who says chili always has to be made with ground beef and tomato sauce? There are so many varieties of chili you can make that can be just as delicious and possibly even lighter. I think white chicken is amazing to try in your chili. Not only is it a leaner cut of meat, but you can even play around with the flavour profile of the dish, too.

Even though this white chicken chili is a play off the American classic, by no means does that mean it is not as hearty and warm to the soul. It's packed with protein, fibre, and of course, lots of spices. So the next time you want to cosy up to bowl of chili, try this one out and maybe it'll be a new favourite of yours. Bring the whole family together for this Instant Pot recipe too, that's if you have it in your heart to share something so good.

Shred the chicken.

Take off the lid and remove the chicken breasts. Shred the chicken using two forks and then add it back into your pot. Give the chili a good stir to incorporate the chicken.
