Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces (can be frozen)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (4.5-ounce) can chopped green chiles, undrained
  • 1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 (14-ounce) cans fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
  • 4 tablespoons nonfat plain Greek yogurt

Toppings

  • Cheddar cheese
  • Corn
  • Cilantro

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Instant Pot: Set the Instant Pot to Sauté mode (Normal setting) to begin cooking the aromatics.
  2. Sauté Onions: Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pot, then stir in the finely chopped onion. Cook for 3–4 minutes until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
  3. Add Garlic and Spices: Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, and black pepper. Cook for an additional minute until the mixture is fragrant and well combined.
  4. Add Main Ingredients: Add the bite-sized chicken pieces (fresh or frozen), chopped green chiles with their liquid, rinsed and drained cannellini beans, and chicken broth. Stir everything together gently.
  5. Seal the Instant Pot: Cancel the Sauté mode. Securely place and seal the Instant Pot lid to prepare for pressure cooking.
  6. Pressure Cook: Cook on Manual or High Pressure setting for 12 minutes if using fresh chicken. If using frozen chicken, increase cooking time to 15 minutes for thorough cooking.
  7. Release Pressure: When cooking time is complete, perform a Quick Release to safely release the steam pressure before opening the lid.
  8. Stir the Chili: Carefully open the lid and stir the chili to combine all ingredients evenly.
  9. Add Greek Yogurt: Let the chili cool slightly for 1–2 minutes, then stir in the nonfat plain Greek yogurt until the chili becomes smooth and creamy.

Notes

  • If preferred, replace Greek yogurt with sour cream but adjust calories accordingly.
  • Use low-sodium canned beans and broth to keep sodium levels in check.
  • For added heat, add chopped jalapeños or a dash of cayenne pepper.
  • Chicken can be pre-cooked or fresh; adjust cooking time accordingly.
  • Top with shredded cheddar, corn, and fresh cilantro just before serving for enhanced flavor and texture.
