How to Make Instant Pot White Chicken Chili
To make a delicious chicken dish in the Instant Pot, add chicken breast, chicken broth, beans, spices, green chiles, green chile salsa, and frozen corn. Close the lid, set the pressure valve, select Manual/Pressure Cook High, and set it for 10 minutes.
After cooking, just let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then do a quick release. Open the lid once the pin drops.
While the Instant Pot naturally releases, prepare a white sauce in a small saucepan. Melt butter over medium-high heat, whisk in flour until bubbly, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Slowly whisk in milk and chicken base for a creamy and flavorful sauce.
Allow the sauce to simmer for 4-5 minutes while constantly whisking. Cook until sauce is slightly thickened—season with salt and pepper to taste.
Once finished, let it release naturally for 10 minutes. Then quick release until all the steam is gone. Remove and shred the chicken.
Put the chicken back in the Instant Pot, pour the white sauce and sour cream, and stir it well. Add more salt and pepper if you want.
Scoop the delicious soup into bowls and add your favorite toppings to make it even more delightful!
