This Instant Pot creamy white chicken chili recipe is quick, incredibly flavorful, warming, and delicious. Ready in about half an hour!
This is an awesome game day recipe.
I have plenty of chili recipes on my blog, including (but not limited to) my Instant Pot turkey chili, Crockpot turkey chili, and quick beef chili, but my favorite so far is this white chicken chili.
It’s probably due to the fact that it’s creamy. Yeah, I can’t help myself.
Other than the way this recipe tastes, my favorite part is probably how fast it is. Being able to get this on the table in 30 minutes after a busy day at work is a good thing. I know I’m always ready to gnaw my arm off if I don’t get something in my belly STAT.
This chili isn’t too spicy, but it does have a bit of kick. If you do want to add some spice, I suggest adding a bit of cayenne pepper, using spicy green chilis (vs. the mild ones I used) or adding some chopped fresh jalapenos as toppings.
Pro tip: Leave the cream cheese sitting on the counter so it softens up while everything is cooking. That’ll make the recipe even faster.
