White Chicken Chili

This instant pot chili is an outrageously delicious lunch/ dinner idea with crockpot version below as well. Pantry ingredients, creamy and just WOW! Perfect to meal prep & even freeze if you make a double batch!

Ingredients:

-1 sweet yellow onion diced (200 grams)

-2 x 15 oz cans cannellini white or great Northern beans, drained and rinsed

-1.5 cups corn fresh or frozen (255 grams)

-1 container of low sodium chicken broth (add less if you like it thicker)

-2 X 4 oz can of diced tomatoes and green chiles

-2 cups diced zucchini (about 250 grams)

-1 tsp cumin

-2 tsp chili powder

-1 tsp garlic poder

-3/4 tsp salt + pepper to taste

-1 lb extra lean ground chicken and or turkey could be a substitute 

-1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt fat 0%+ (or fat free sour cream) (113 grams)

-5 TB whipped cream cheese (55 grams)

-1 lemon juice

Directions:

-Place the Instant Pot on the saute setting, add the garlic and onions. 

-Cook for 2-3 minutes until both are soft, then add ground turkey and saute that all together until browned.
-Add the chicken broth, beans, diced tomatoes/green chilis, frozen corn, diced zucchini and all the seasonings.

-Close the lid, set pressure vent to Sealing and press Pressure Cook on High or Manual for 20 minutes.

-When the pot indicates it has finished, allow the steam to release naturally for 10 minutes instead of quick release.
-Place the Instant Pot back on the saute function. Add the cream cheese, and yogurt.

-Cook for 4-5 minutes until all combined. If you want creamier chili, add more cream cheese and/or shredded cheese.

-Serve with avocado, cheese, even fresh cilantro!

For the crockpot version: You can add all the ingredients to the pot (except yogurt/cream cheese), but use chicken breast instead and cook on low for 3-4 hours. Once the chicken is cooked and tender, take that out and shred. Place that back into the pot and add the yogurt and cream cheese, and stir!

I served mine with Cut Da Carb chips which come as a flatbread, I cut them up and brown in a skillet with avocado oil spray and sea salt for crunchy homemade “chips”. 14 grams of carbs for ALL the chips, and they are only found online!
