Healthy White Chicken Chili
A warm, comforting chili that balances flavor and nutrition with tender chicken, creamy white beans, and the kick of green chilies.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 can white beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can diced green chilies
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fat-free Greek yogurt for serving (optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- Set your Instant Pot to the sauté function. Add a splash of olive oil, then toss in the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the boneless, skinless chicken breasts and coat them with the onion and garlic mixture. Then, add the drained white beans and diced green chilies. Stir everything to combine.
- Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth, then add the cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to mix all ingredients.
- Close the lid of the Instant Pot securely and set it to high pressure for 10 minutes.
- After cooking, allow the pressure to release naturally for a few minutes, then carefully release any remaining pressure. Open the lid and shred the chicken with two forks right in the pot, stirring everything together.
Serving
- Serve the chili hot, topped with a dollop of fat-free Greek yogurt, and garnished with sliced green onions, fresh cilantro, or sliced jalapeños if desired.

Notes
Let the flavors meld by making the chili a few hours ahead or the night before for richer taste. Adjust spices according to your preference. Can easily be doubled for larger gatherings.
