Super simple Instant Pot Healthy White Chicken Chili! Cozy, nutrient-dense, SO easy to make, and full of flavor. The best warming bowl for a meal-prepped lunch, or a throw-together dinner!

This chicken chili is packed with juicy shredded chicken, beans, corn, and some bell pepper. It’s made creamy using Greek-style yogurt, for a healthy and protein-packed dish. It makes the best cold-weather meal (although I can definitely eat this year round, as I am currently eating a bowl in 80 degree weather lol)!

You will not believe how easy this chicken chili is to make. You’ll need and Instant Pot Pressure Cooker for this recipe. Please note, I have not tested this recipe in a slow cooker!

I highly recommend ordering an Instant Pot if you’ve been considering it. This post is not sponsored in any way, but I just feel it is a great kitchen appliance for making quick and easy meals! It’s a great tool to have if you’re someone who likes to meal prep a lot, too!

This white chicken chili is healthy, gluten free, soy free, and nut free. It’s something the whole family will enjoy, and also a perfect meal for football Sunday! It is SO good- I just know you guys are going to love this meal!

It’s super filling and satisfying, and made mostly with a handful of pantry staples. Lately, I’ve been keeping the pantry stocked with the ingredients I need for this, because I just don’t get sick of it! And, it is SO easy to throw together after a busy day. You truly just dump everything into the pressure cooker, click a few buttons, and you’re set!

    Is there a way to make this with a Crock Pot and not an instant pot?

  2. Anna says:

    Just made this and it could not be easier or more delicious!! Added some adobo seasoning for an extra kick and used fire roasted tomatoes and chili’s for some more depth of flavor. Mias recipes never disappoint!!

  3. Ash says:

    Hey Mia! Really excited to try this but don’t have an instant pot! Any tips on how to do this in a standard pot or dish? Thanks!

  4. Sydney says:

    Made this recipe in my Ninja foodie and it turned out amazing!

  6. Marilia says:

    This is absolutely my new specialty! I want everyone to try this. SO healthy and so absurdly delicious.

  7. Maggie says:

    So so good!

    For everyone asking about the crockpot, I did it in the slow cooker & through everything in at once with and allowed the chicken to cook on high for 4 hours (or until internal temp was 165), and then shredded it and threw it back in and kept on warm while serving!

  8. Katie Barnes says:

    Delicious recipe 🤤 We will be making it all winter!

  9. Elaine says:

    Wowza so good! We made this DF and threw some tortilla chips on top. Might be our favorite chili to date! A cozy autumn must-make dinner.

  10. Alexis Higgs says:

    Easy and perfect for our Sunday night dinner. Definitely going to make this all fall/winter!

  11. Chloe Lynch says:

    Easy and delicious! The perfect twist on chili for something a little different. I switched the greek yogurt for a thick cashew yogurt and it was perfect.

  12. Maddie says:

    SO GOOD! It’s warming, it’s comforting, protein packed, and delicious. Plus, so easy! I made it on a stove top so my cook times varied but I kept everything else about the same, except for a pinch more broth to compensate for the longer cook time. Me and my boyfriend loved this and was the perfect dinner and the leftovers have been great heated up at the office. Already can’t wait to make it again! Thanks so much for another great recipe, Mia!

  13. Samantha says:

    Honestly… best chili I’ve ever had. The greek yogurt mixed in and added on top with cilantro is SUCH a great addition. I’m obsessed!!!

  14. Yar says:

    Easiest and most delicious weeknight dinner recipe! Subbed greek yogurt with kite hill DF sour cream and turned out amazing!

  15. Sadye says:

    This is my second time making this and I absolutely love it. 5 stars from my boyfriend too 🙂

  16. Wendy says:

    It’s the second time I make it and it’s still amazing !! So flavorful!

    • Mia Swinehart says:

      Thank you so much Wendy! So happy you enjoyed it 🙂

      • Cat says:

        I make a batch of this every week and my teenage son devours it. So easy to make and so very delicious! It’s good with or without the Greek yogurt. Definitely one of the best recipes I’ve ever used!

  17. Kara says:

    I literally never leave comments but this recipe became an instant staple and I make it monthly if not weekly!

  18. Juliette Medina says:

    Mia you NEVER disappoint! Made this last night for my friends and it was a huge hit 🙂 This will absolutely be a fall staple in my house

  19. Mackenzie says:

    Mia I made this tonight in my Dutch Oven on my Stovetop. It was extremely easy to make, I subbed the white/pinto beans for black beans and added fresh corn before it goes out of season. Thanks for the great recipe! Perfect cozy Fall meal, even though Winter somehow snuck up on us in Chicago.

  20. Diana A says:

    I’m also not one to leave comments, but I’ve tried a few of your recipes and my family loves them!
    Thank you
