Instant Pot Frozen Chicken Breast and White Bean Chili

Makes 8 servings.

Ingredients

  • 3 Large (or 5 smaller) frozen chicken breasts (about 1-1/4 lb)
  • 1 cup dried navy beans
  • 1 15oz can tomato sauce (or use 10-oz can of green enchilada sauce)
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1-1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp ground pepper
  • 1 32oz carton of chicken broth or stock

(Optional toppings) - Sour cream, shredded monterey jack cheese, cilantro, chopped avocado, tortilla strips or chips.

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients except for toppings in 6-8 quart Instant Pot.
  • Stir gently to distribute the beans and spices.
  • Place the lid on the pot and turn to seal, making sure the silicon ring is in place. Turn the steam release handle on the top to "sealing", not "venting".
  • Press the "Pressure Cook" button until the mode says "MORE". (Other modes are LESS and NORMAL).
  • Press the +/- button until the screen says "25". This sets the timer. Do nothing at this point for 10 seconds and the display will soon read "ON". It will continue to display this for about 18 minutes while the pot comes up to pressure.
  • After the 25 minutes of cooking time you will have two options: -- For softer beans, allow pressure to release naturally. This will take about 30 minutes. -- For texture more similar to canned beans, allow pressure to release for 15 minutes, then quick release it by turning the steam release handle from "sealing" to "venting". Keep face away from the top of the instant pot!
  • Remove the lid when the float valve has dropped. You can shred the chicken in the pot, or remove to a cutting board to chop or shred.
  • If you prefer a creamier texture, mash a few of the beans in the pot with a potato masher or large spoon.

Notes

  • Chicken breasts should be individually frozen. If they are frozen together they may not fully cook.
  • Great northern beans may be used instead of white/navy beans, but you will need to add 10 minutes to the cook time (35 minutes instead of 25). This additional cook time will also cook the chicken more.
