Ingredients

6 servings

1 pound boneless (skinless chicken thighs)
1/2 sweet onion (chopped (1 cup)
1/2 green pepper (seeds removed, chopped)
1 Jalapeño (seeds removed, chopped {optional})
3 garlic cloves (minced)
2- 15 ounces great northern beans (drained and rinsed)
2- 4 ounces green chilies
32 ounces chicken broth
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper ({optional})
Salt and pepper to taste

Method

1
Place the broth, garlic, onion, green pepper and jalapeño {optional} in the Instant Pot.
2
Place the chicken thighs on top followed by sprinkling all of the spices on top of the chicken. Next add the diced green chiles and white beans.
3
Put the lid on the pressure cooker and lock the lid. Cook on MANUAL HIGH pressure for 5 minutes.
4
When it is done let the pressure release on its own {naturally} for 10 minutes. Then quick release the rest, using the quick release lever.
5
Once your pot is depressurized, remove the lid carefully {open away from your body}.
6
Remove the chicken thighs and place on a cutting board. Use two forks to shred the chicken and then return it back to the pot. Stir everything together, serve in bowls and garnish with sour cream, avocado, cilantro, cheese and diced red onion.

Notes

If you don't want to use chicken thighs you can easily use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or chicken tenders. If you want to thicken your white chicken chili, it works best to create a flour mixture to add to the chili. Start melting butter in a large pan on the stove over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, whisk in flour, a tablespoon of butter at a time. Add in the milk, about a half cup at a time slowly, and continue whisking. The mixture will become thick and creamy. Add the mixture to the instant pot and stir.
