I love using my pressure cooker in the fall and winter. It’s seriously taken the place of my slow cooker. This Healthy White Chicken Chili takes only 7 minutes to cook and taste like it’s been simmering all day. You may be familiar with my Homemade Chicken Noodle recipe that also only takes 7 minutes. This is just crazy, isn’t it?! If you haven’t invested in a pressure cooker (Instant Pot), don’t wait any longer.
This Chicken Chili recipe is not only easy to make it’s healthy. Instead of using sour cream, I used non-fat Greek yogurt. It’s a great alternative to sour cream. I also used organic cannellini beans, corn, and chicken broth. I also used all natural chicken breast.
Once the timer goes off, turn pressure cooker off and allow it to naturally release the steam. This can take 10-12 minutes depending on your pressure cooker. Once you can open the lid, add the Greek yogurt and stir well. This really adds creaminess to the chili. Serve in a bowl and top with your favorite toppings.

Notes
This chilli taste good. You did not say how much garlic and when to add the beans. Liquid is more like a soup not thick like a chilli. I followed exact directions above. And used my pressure cooker correct. So is the liquid suppose to be thin?
Hi Julie, Yes, white chicken chili is more of a soup consistency instead of a thicker traditional chili. I am so glad you liked it. Thanks for letting me know about the garlic. I will fix the garlic measurement. 🙂
Hi Julie, Thank you! And thank you for pointing that out to me. I will get that fixed now. White Chicken Chili is more of a soup consistency, unlike the traditional chili.So you did it right. 🙂
Hi, Amy. Thanks for the recipe; it’s cooking in the instant pot now! Looking forward to trying it soon on this dreary, rainy day in Dallas. In the instructions above, it’s not noted when to add the beans. We just added them with the corn, green chiles and broth. Just wanted to let you know! Thanks.
Thank you, Pam! It’s a good one. 🙂 Thank you for pointing that out to me. Yes, add the beans with all the other ingredients. I will get that fixed. Thanks again. 🙂
I didn’t use the olive oil. Was that to saute the onions etc?
My hubs loves this recipe. To make it a little thicker I add am extra can of beans and a bit more corn.
Yes, it was. Leaving it out should work too. I am so happy your hubs loved it! Thanks for stopping by and sharing!
If I didn’t make this in the instant pot but all day on the stove, would I add the yogurt right before serving?
Hi Kassi, Yes that is correct. Just add right before serving. 🙂
