  • 1 ½ teaspoon Chili Powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoon Cumin - Ground
  • 2 teaspoon Mexican Oregano - Dried
  • 1 teaspoon Coriander - Ground
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • ½ teaspoon White Pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon Cayenne Pepper

White Chicken Chili

  • 2 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 Yellow Onion - Diced
  • 1 Green Bell Pepper - Diced
  • 2 Jalapeño - Diced
  • 1 Tbsp. Minced Garlic
  • Chili Seasoning from Above
  • 1 ¾ Cups Chicken Stock
  • 10 Oz Rotel - Canned
  • 2 - 14.5 Oz Cannellini Beans - Canned - Drained and Rinsed
  • 2 Cups Frozen Corn
  • 2 lbs Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • Juice of One Lime
  • 8 Oz Cream Cheese - Cubed
  • ½ Cup Sour Cream

Instructions

  • Begin by dicing the onion, bell pepper, and jalapeños.
  • Turn the Instant Pot to Sauté on high and add the olive oil allowing it to heat up.
  • Add the veggies to the Instant Pot and sauté for about 6-8 minutes or until they've become aromatic and began to soften.
  • Add the minced garlic and sauté for about another 2-3 minutes.
  • Pour in the chili seasoning mix, chicken stock, and can of Rotel stirring to completely combine all ingredients.
  • Next, add the beans and corn stirring to distribute evenly.
  • Lastly, press the chicken breasts into the mixture being sure that about half the breasts are covered. Juice one lime over the top and scatter the cream cheese cubes over the top.
  • Place the lid on the Instant Pot and turn it to pressure cook, high, for 20 minutes.
  • Once cooking is complete allow for a 10 minute natural release then turn the valve to its vent position.
  • Once all pressure is released, safely remove the lid, stir in the sour cream and serve!

Notes

  • If you prefer chicken thighs, that's perfectly fine. Frozen, raw, fresh. Use what you have or what makes the most sense for you.
  • I like to have cilantro, tortilla chips, and shredded cheese when serving this dish. Other options might include sliced avocado, radishes, and your favorite hot sauce.
  • If you prefer to make White Chicken Chili in the crockpot or any other slow cooker, follow the directions for sautéing the vegetables in a large skillet and transfer them to the Crockpot. Follow the remaining directions and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8; the results will be just as incredible.
