Instant Pot Chicken Chili is one of my husband’s new favorite dinners! If you liked how easy my Instant Pot Tuna Noodle Casserole or my Instant Pot Broccoli Chicken Pasta were to make you are going to love this one! This chicken chili is thick, hearty, full of chicken, beans and an amazing kicky flavor! We like to top our with lime tortilla strips and grated cheese. Trust me, you’re going to love it!

How to make Instant Pot Chicken Chili:

Dump in the drained and rinsed beans.
Add the can of tomatoes with diced green chilis and stir everything around once or twice.
Close and seal the instant pot lid.
Cook on high pressure for 15 minutes and allow the steam to naturally release for 15 to 20 minutes.
Carefully open the instant pot and shred the chicken.
Stir the shredded chicken back into the instant pot and serve!

Frequently asked questions:

How long will chicken chili last in the fridge?

This will last 4-5 days if properly stored in the fridge.

Can chicken chili be frozen?

Yes, just make sure to cool it completely before packing in a freezer safe container. Thaw, reheat and eat within 6 months.

What goes well with chicken chili?

We like to eat ours with shredded cheese, specifically the Mexican blend and lime tortilla strips I find next to the salad toppings at the store. A scoop of sour cream would also be delicious!
