Description

Use dry beans in your Instant Pot for this white chicken chili. Green enchilada sauce, chopped green chiles, and fresh cilantro add tons of flavor.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 medium onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 (28 ounce) can green enchilada sauce
2 cups dry great northern beans, sorted and rinsed
2 cups chicken broth
2 (4 ounce) cans chopped green chiles (such as Hatch®), undrained
1 tablespoon oregano
1 teaspoon cumin
1 cup shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend, or to taste
1/2 cup chopped cilantro, or to taste

Directions

1 Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and select the Sauté function. Pour in oil. Add chicken and sauté until lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add onion and garlic; sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes more.
2 Add enchilada sauce, dry beans, broth, green chiles, oregano, and cumin. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to the manufacturer’s instructions; set the timer for 45 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
3 Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer’s instructions, at least 25 minutes to allow beans to fully cook. Unlock and remove the lid. Garnish chili with shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend and cilantro.
