Instant Pot White Chicken Chili is the perfect meal for a cool fall day or a cold winter evening. This easy pressure cooker recipe is full of flavor and it only takes 10 minutes, yet it tastes like it has been slow cooking all day!
Nothing says comfort more than a nice cup of warm soup or chili. It used to be that it would take all day to develop flavors into a hearty bowl of soup, but those days are gone. Instead of standing over a pot on the stove, we are now utilizing our Instant Pot pressure cooker to make the most delicious soups and chili.
Besides making yogurt and hard boiled eggs, my most favorite thing to make in my Instant Pot are soups. My copycat Olive Garden Chicken and Gnocchi Soup has been one of my most requested recipes this past year from family and friends but I think that is going to change once they try my Instant Pot White Chicken Chili!
Chili is one of those meals that we tend to eat a lot of in the fall. I think watching football with a pot of my Blue Ribbon Chili is one of my most favorite things to do in November and December. I have always made a version of this chicken chili on the stove top, but I decided it was time to convert it to a pressure cooker recipe.
I am so glad that I did!
This chicken chili is amazing and is made in under 30 minutes from start to finish when made in a pressure cooker. The flavors all marry together and the result is absolutely delish. Serve it along side some cornbread or crackers and you can feed a crowd in just minutes!

Is there room in the pot for this to be doubled?
Mom says
It would depend on what size pot you use. I use a 6 Quart and I think it would fit but I haven’t tried it. It would for sure fit in an 8 quart.
Daniele says
What if I don’t buy can beans how would I convert this so I could use dried beans or how much cups of pre cooked beans would I need.
Mom says
I would think about 3 cups of cooked beans would work.
Kaitlyn says
Hi Kat, this looks delicious! Unfortunately I have gone dairy free, do you have any suggestions on what I could substitute the cream of chicken with?
Mom says
I’m not sure. I looked around on the internet and found some recipes to make your own dairy free “cream” of chicken. https://tumbleintolove.blog/2019/03/23/gluten-dairy-free-substitute-for-canned-cream-soup/
