Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 2-15 ounce cans Great Northern beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels
  • 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 4 ounce can diced green chiles
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Instructions

  • Add onion, beans, corn, broth, green chiles, garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to a 6 quart or 8 quart Instant Pot. Do not stir.
  • Place the chicken on top.
  • Close and lock the lid. Be sure that the pressure release valve is set to sealing. Press manual high pressure and adjust the cooking time to 20 minutes. It should take about 15 minutes for the pot to come to pressure.
  • Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, and then carefully turn the pressure release valve to venting to release any remaining pressure.
  • Unlock and remove the lid.
  • Remove the chicken and shred with 2 forks.
  • Return chicken to the pot along with yogurt, cream cheese, and lime juice.
  • Stir until the cream cheese has melted, and the chili is well combined.

Notes

  • Onion: White onion or yellow onion will work well in this chili.
  • Beans: Cannellini beans or white beans also work well.
  • Chicken broth: Chicken stock also works. Feel free to use regular broth or no salt broth.
  • Green chiles: For some heat, use medium or hot. For milder chili, use mild green chiles.
  • Greek yogurt: Sour cream can be used in place of the Greek yogurt. Feel free to use 5% or 2% yogurt if you prefer.
  • Cream cheese: Full-fat cream cheese or Greek yogurt cream cheese will also work. I don't recommend using fat-free cream cheese.
  • Nutrition values are estimates.
