Easy Instant Pot Chicken Chili

30-Minute Easy Chicken Chili Recipe

This is a fairly easy chicken chili recipe to put together in my programmable pressure cooker, Instant Pot. The actual cook time is about 8 minutes. Including the time it takes the pot to pressurize and depressurize, this dish is ready to be served in under 30 minutes, from start to finish.

Making it in the instant pot makes this recipe a simple dump and start dish thats great for weeknight meals. Serve with Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread as a side.

Use Ground Beef or Turkey in this Chili Recipe

I love the traditional chili made with ground beef. That can easily be used in the same recipe and it works great. But, in an effort to make this chili a lower calorie dish, I substituted ground beef with lean ground chicken in this recipe. The other two homemade Chili recipes that are on my repeat menu are White Chicken Chili and Black Bean Chili.

Leftovers!! Make Chili Hot Dogs

Whenever I make Instant Pot Chicken Chili, I always make enough so we have leftovers for dressing up some Hot Dogs the next day. THAT is our bonus! I love meals where you cook once and use twice! Here’s what I do: I heat up chili and boil some ‘franks’ or sausage links. Everyone dresses up their hot-dogs with their choice of condiments. Then, pour a couple of ‘generous’ spoonfuls of chili all over, sprinkle chopped onion and shredded cheese over that and enjoy. Yum!!

Great for Game Day Parties

Next to that, I place a basket of warmed hot-dog buns, and condiments like ketchup, mustard and relish, chopped onions and shredded cheese. Alongside, I serve boiled or steamed franks (hot dogs) on a platter. This works out great as people can choose if they want to have a bowl of chili or a chili-dog, or both 🙂
