Instructions
- Set your Instant Pot to Sauté mode. Add olive oil and chopped onion. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, oregano, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits.
- Add the rinsed and drained cannellini beans and the can of diced tomatoes with green chilies.
- Stir in the cooked shredded chicken.
- Secure the lid on the Instant Pot and set the valve to sealing.
- Select the Manual or Pressure Cook setting and cook on High pressure for 5 minutes.
- Once the cooking cycle is complete, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then carefully perform a quick release for any remaining pressure.
- Open the lid and stir the chili. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Serve hot, with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- For a thicker chili, you can mash some of the beans against the side of the pot before serving.
- If you don’t have pre-cooked chicken, you can cook chicken breasts in the Instant Pot first, then shred them.
- Adjust the cayenne pepper to your spice preference.
