How to make white bean chicken chili in the Instant Pot:
The Instant Pot will have your white bean chicken chili ready in a snap! Add the prepared chicken, beans, onion, poblano, corn, garlic, Hatch green chiles, spices, and broth to the pot, and stir lightly. Switch the lid to “sealing” and cook for 20 minutes on manual high pressure. Let it naturally release pressure for 10 minutes and then switch it to “venting.” Stir in the cream or milk and serve with optional garnishes!
How to make white bean chicken chili in the crock pot:
Oooh, you know I love a slow cooker meal. And this one is fantastic. Add all the ingredients, except for the cream/half-and-half/evaporated milk, into the slow cooker, gently stir to incorporate everything together, and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours or high for 3 to 4 hours. Stir in the dairy and serve!
Frequently Asked Questions:
How do you make white bean chicken chili thicker?
Easy, easy! Just reduce the liquid in the recipe by a quarter cup, or blend up one of the cans of beans before adding to create a super rich and thicker consistency.
Can I freeze white bean chicken chili?
TOTALLY! Chili is one of the best (and one of my favorite) freezer meals. After the chili is cooled, spoon it into an airtight, freezer-safe container, close the lid on tight, and freeze for up to 3 to 4 months. To reheat, let the chili thaw in the fridge overnight before placing leftovers back in the Dutch oven or stockpot over medium heat until heated through, about 10 to 15 minutes.
How can I make this chili even more creamy?
For added creaminess, pour in an additional 1/2 cup of cream, half-and-half, or evaporated milk to the chili (so 1 1/2 cups total).
