How To Make Instant Pot Tex Mex Chicken Chili
Set your Instant Pot to the sauté function.
Add the olive oil and allow to heat up. Add onions and garlic and cook 2-3 minutes or until garlic is fragrant and onions are translucent.
Add chicken and cook until no longer pink. Turn Instant Pot off.
Add chicken broth. I like mine more like soup, so I add two cups. If you like it more like chili, only add one cup.
Add beans to Instant Pot.
Add taco seasoning, red and green salsas, green chilies, tomatoes and tomato paste. (I love green chilies and add 2 cans.)
Mix everything together. Close and lock the lid on the Instant Pot and make sure the vent is closed. Set Instant Pot to 15 minutes. Once the 15 minutes are up, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes. Open the vent and release the remaining pressure.
Favorite Toppings For White Chicken Chili
This chili is great served without any additional toppings, but sometimes I like to add a little something extra!
Some of my favorite toppings to add are shredded cheddar cheese or Pepper Jack cheese, crumbled tortilla chips or corn chips, a dollop of sour cream, green onions, avocado and sliced Jalapenos.
What To Serve With White Chicken Chili
One of my favorite things to serve with this White Chicken Chili is Cornbread. So good!
My dad would always crumble cornbread into his soups and chili. You could also serve this over a bowl of rice with some crusty bread or homemade rolls.
