How to use an Instant Pot

If this is your first time using an Instant Pot, take the time to read through the instructions. It’s definitely not rocket science, but it’s a good idea to make sure you know exactly how to use it.

You will want to be familiar with the main settings on the Instant Pot such as manual cooking, sauté mode, and the soup mode. These are the three settings I use the most.

Most importantly, you want to know how to securely lock the lid and how to seal and vent while cooking.

What Ingredients do I need for Chicken Chili?

Chicken Chili is an easy dump-and-go recipe to make. You don’t need too many ingredients and the flavors are just amazing.

  • diced onion
  • 2-3 chicken breasts
  • corn
  • black beans
  • Rotel
  • chicken stock
  • taco seasoning (our homemade recipe!)
  • tomato paste

You can use a store-bought taco seasoning with this recipe or you can use a homemade taco seasoning recipe. If you haven’t already made your own taco seasoning, they are relatively easy to make and store easily for a long time.

How to Make Instant Pot Chicken Chili

  1. Layer onion and chicken.

    Layer the onion on the bottom of the Instant Pot and place the chicken on top.

  2. Cover the chicken with seasoning. Layer with corn, black beans, and Rotel.

    Cover the chicken with taco seasoning or homemade chicken taco seasoning if you have it. Then layer it with Rotel, black beans, and corn.chicken chili step by step collage photos

  3. Add chicken stock. Then secure lid and cook for 10 minutes.

    Add the chicken stock to the pot. Secure the lid and cook on the soup mode for 10 minutes. Allow the pressure cooker to naturally release for 10 minutes, and then release remaining pressure before removing the lid.

  4. Remove the chicken from the Instant Pot and shred.

    Using two forks, shred the chicken on a cutting board. If you have a stand mixer such as a Kitchen Aid, you can also shred it by placing it in the mixer and turning it on low.shredded chicken on a cutting board

  5. Add shredded chicken to the chicken chili mixture.

    Add the chicken back to the chicken chili mixture and serve immediately.Chicken chili being scooped to serve.

  6. Serve with your favorite toppings.

    You can serve pressure cooker chicken chili all on its own, it’s that good! If you love toppings, consider adding toppings such as sour cream, fresh cilantro, avocado, cheese, and more.Bowl of chicken chili topped with sour cream and garnished.
