    Most people don't eat white chili often. I'm not sure why because it can be just as delicious as traditional red chili. Well, this Instant Pot white chicken chili is like a combination of all the best parts. It's very healthy (ZERO points on Weight Watcher, when using fat-free broth), easily made in 3 steps, and done in less than half an hour! Yeah, it's a winner.

      Absolutely delicious! I didn't have the variety of beans so I just used chickpeas. Flavors are awesome! Every recipe that I have tried on your website has been outstanding and (bonus) simple!

      Thank you so much!

      This hit the spot. Love it. Hubby loves insanely spicy (Indian spicy) and I tolerate medium. It was perfect for both of us as is. I wasn’t able to get cannelini beans, so I substituted with pinto beans. It worked out perfectly. Thanks for the recipe!
