White Chicken Chili

  1. So *technically* I made this in an InstaPot but I feel like it could be scaled to a slow cooker pretty easily.

    Ingredients:

    ~1lb. boneless skinless chicken thighs
    1 cup red kidney beans
    1 cup white kidney (cannellini) beans
    2 medium sweet onions
    6 cloves garlic
    1 poblano pepper
    3 small serrano peppers
    1 lime
    1 can of corn
    2 chicken stock/bouillon cubes
    8-10 oz cream cheese
    Fresh parsley and cilantro

    I pressure cooked the beans, one diced onion, and half the garlic for about 30 minutes until they were a bit past al dente. Seasoned with S&P, bay leaf, one bouillon cube in ~4 cups of water. Set everything (including the bean water) aside when done.

    In the meantime browned the chicken, rubbed beforehand with S&P, paprika, nutmeg, rosemary. Added to the instapot and covered with peppers and the rest of the onion and garlic (all diced/small chopped), pressure cooked for 15 minutes with a bit of extra water for moisture and shredded the chicken when done.

    Set the pot to stew mode, added the bean water, squeezed lime, about 2-3 cups of regular water and the second bouillon cube. Seasoned with cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, S&P, all to taste. Brought to simmer/light boil and added cream cheese. Let the cream cheese melt down/combine, added the beans, corn, fresh herbs, a dash of apple cider vinegar. Let everything simmer for another 10 minutes or so. Served with some toasted crusty bread.

    I think you could replace the dried beans with canned and this is crockpot ready. If you can’t/dont want to pre brown the chicken I’d add chicken/onion/peppers/garlic/seasonings first, shred the chicken when done, and then finish it off with cream cheese/beans/corn for the last hour or two.

  2. Was this picture taken before or after you ate it?

    I’m sure it tastes a lot better than the picture that came out, recipe seems right up my alley. I’d try it if i had any kind of slow cooker.

  4. Looks like a nice little quick meal. I’m going to try it in my slow cooker. Thanks for sharing

    I also make this in my slow cooker but I add a little chili powder and cumin because I like my food to punch me in the face when I eat it lol

    Always a crowd favorite though.
