Instructions
 

Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili

  • In a slow cooker, combine the onion, jalapeño, garlic, green chiles, cumin, coriander, chili powder, lime juice, broth, and chicken. Cover and cook on high for 3 hours or on low for 5 hours.
  • When the chicken is almost done, put the beans in a medium bowl and use a fork to gently mash a little more than half of them. Set aside.
  • Remove the chicken breasts and shred them. Return the chicken to the slow cooker, add the beans (mashed and unmashed) and cook, uncovered, for
  • 10 minutes to heat everything through.
  • Top with the cilantro and serve with toppings of your choosing.

Instant Pot White Chicken Chili

  • Sauté the onion, jalapeño, garlic, green chiles, and chicken on medium in the Instant Pot, add the broth, and scrape very well so you don’t get a “burn” message.
  • Add the remaining ingredients (except the cilantro). Cover the Instant Pot and cook on high pressure for 20 minutes.
  • Quick-release the pressure, remove the chicken and shred it, then return it to the pot and add the beans. Sauté on low for 5 minutes.
  • Top with the cilantro and serve with toppings of your choosing.
