Instant Pot White Chicken Chili

Ingredients

1 ½ to 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts)

1 large yellow onion, diced 

2 4-ounce cans diced green chili peppers (you can usually only find these in mild so don’t worry about them making it spicy)

3 cloves garlic, minced 

2 teaspoons cumin 

2 teaspoons salt 

½ teaspoon coriander 

½ teaspoon dried oregano 

4 cups chicken stock (or I prefer Better than Bouillon - it's delicious and I don't have to cart gallons of stock up 3 flights of stairs every week)

1 13.5-ounce can cannellini or navy beans (drained and rinsed)

1 cup frozen corn 

Adding any of this as you serve it will be delicious: shredded monterey jack cheese, lime juice, sour cream, hot sauce, avocado

Directions

Combine the chicken, onions, green chili peppers, garlic, cumin, 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt, coriander, oregano in Instant Pot or slow cooker. Stir to make sure the spices coat everything and pour the chicken stock over top (should cover the chicken and vegetables by an inch or so). 

Instant pot: Include the corn and beans in with the chicken and everything else and cook it all together on the meat/chili setting on high pressure for 20 minutes. It will warm up, cook 20 minutes and once it finishes, let it naturally depressurize 10 minutes afterwards before releasing the pressure.

Slow cooker: If you’re using the slow cooker, cook for 4 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low. (It's fine to cook for 8 hours on low, if you’re going to be gone all day - chicken just gets more and more tender and starts to fall apart but you're going to shred it anyway). About 30 minutes before the end of cooking, remove the lid of the slow cooker and add the beans and corn, and then cook for the remaining time. 

Once it’s done, take the chicken out and shred it into large, bite-sized pieces with two forks. Eat it as it is or add any of the delicious things I included above to make it even tastier.
