Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 ½ chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 medium onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 (28 ounce) can green enchilada sauce
2 cups dry great northern beans, sorted and rinsed
2 cups chicken broth
2 (4 ounce) cans chopped green chiles (such as Hatch), undrained
1 tablespoon oregano
1 teaspoon cumin
1 cup shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend, or to taste
½ cup chopped cilantro, or to taste
Directions
Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and select the Sauté function. Pour in oil. Add chicken and sauté until lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add onion and garlic; sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes more.
Add enchilada sauce, dry beans, broth, green chiles, oregano, and cumin. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to the manufacturer's instructions; set the timer for 45 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, at least 25 minutes to allow beans to fully cook. Unlock and remove the lid. Garnish chili with shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend and cilantro.
Recipe Tip
You can use chicken thighs in place of breasts if you prefer.
