Instant Pot White Chicken Chili
Description
The recipe starts by seasoning chicken breasts with taco seasoning and pressure cooking them with chicken broth in the Instant Pot. After cooking, the chicken is shredded while preserving the flavorful broth. Garlic, onion powder, cumin, oregano, coriander, salt, pepper, and chopped roasted green chiles are sautéed to build aromatic depth.
Neufchatel cheese is stirred in to melt, giving the chili a creamy consistency without heaviness. Cannellini beans and corn are added and simmered briefly, allowing flavors to meld. The method results in a chili that balances smooth, rich textures with mild spiced notes from the seasoning and chiles.
This white chicken chili serves well as a standalone meal or paired with cornbread or a light salad. Toppings like sour cream, cheese, or fresh herbs can enhance the serving experience.
