Pressure Cooker White Chicken Chili is made from frozen chicken breasts, hearty white beans, and creamy cheesy goodness.
Oh goodness, we all need more cozy soups in our life this time of year, right? At our house we can’t get over the soups that allow us to top them with everything good: cilantro, avocado, jalapenos, cheese, more cheese, sour cream, tortilla chips. You get the point. The more toppings, the better the soup!
I have another recipe on the blog for Chicken Tortilla Soup that has been one of my top 3 recipes for the last 4 years, but I think this one is going to give it a run for its money! It’s the new and improved version because hello, cream cheese and heavy cream. Need I say more?
This recipe is legit a dump and cook kind of situation. I don’t even take the time to thaw my chicken breasts because it’s just not necessary! You get the same tenderness with half the work.
So, don’t be shy, throw everything into your pressure cooker or instant pot, give it a quick stir, set the time, and walk away. Live your life away from the stove! When the time goes off, let the pressure release naturally for a bit, then stir in the cream cheese and heavy cream and voila! Ready to eat.
I need to address one more quick thing regarding this soup.
It’s extremely versatile. You can try to hurt it, but all it will do is love is return.
If you don’t like great northern beans, use little white beans or even black or pinto beans! You don’t have diced green chilies on hand? No sweat. Use fresh jalapenos or even a jar of medium/hot salsa. The soup is forgiving – it’s not going to mind a few adjustments!
Cozy up for all the fall fun with this Pressure Cooker White Chicken Chili. I promise you, you won’t regret it.
