White Chicken Chili
(Instant Pot or Slow Cooker)
Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, or chicken thighs
1 yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 large sweet potato, cubed
1 16.9oz carton chicken broth, (2 cups)
2 4oz cans diced green chiles
1 lime, juiced
1 13.5oz can full fat unsweetened coconut milk
1 tablespoon oregano
1 tablespoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon coriander
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
salt and black pepper, to taste
Toppings:
sliced avocados
sliced jalapeños
chopped fresh cilantro
dollop of coconut cream
grain-free tortilla chips, Siete
Instructions:
Instant Pot
Place chicken breast in the bottom of the Instant Pot. Add in the onion, garlic, sweet potato, chicken broth, diced green chiles, lime juice, coconut milk, oregano, cumin, coriander, chili powder, cayenne pepper, and cilantro. Stir.
Place the lid on the Instant pot, move the venting k**b to “sealing”, and cook on “Manual” at High Pressure for 20 minutes. Once the timer beeps, let it naturally release for 10 minutes, then move the k**b to “venting” to let the remaining steam out.
Using tongs, remove the chicken breast to a plate and shred using two forks (or your hand mixer - it really works!). Return the chicken back to the instant pot, and stir. Serve and garnish with favorite toppings.
Slow Cooker
Place chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker and top with the remainder of ingredients. Stir.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or high for 4-6 hours.
Using tongs, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred with two forks (or your hand mixer - it really works!). Add the chicken back to the slow cooker and stir. Serve with favorite toppings
Recipe Notes:
For a thicker/creamier chili use 1/2 the amount of chicken broth or bone broth. You can also add in dairy free cream cheese (I like Kite Hill Cream Cheese) to thicken the chili and to add cheesy flavor.
If you already have cooked shredded chicken that you would like to use, make the chili in the instant pot on manual for 10 minutes, instead of 20 minutes. Stir the chicken in and heat through.
Substitute diced green chiles for any green salsa.
Instead of sweet potatoes, you can use gold potatoes, or russet potatoes. You can also keep it dairy free, but add legumes like white beans (Great Northern Beans).
