White Chicken Chili in the Instant Pot

Much to my dismay, the groundhog saw his shadow, so that means 6 more weeks of winter.  It has been a cold one, and there is nothing I enjoy more than a warm bowl of healthy chili or soup for dinner on a chilly winter night.  Who am I kidding?  I love to eat soups and chili year-round.

This healthy and hearty White Chicken Chili is a family favorite.  It comes together very easily in the Instant Pot, and can also be made on the stovetop.  I adapted the recipe from an old recipe I got in a grocery store flyer years and years ago when I was in college.

I bought myself an Instant Pot last year to replace my slow cooker.  I loved the idea that I could saute vegetables and ground meats directly in the pot and not have to dirty multiple pans.  And instead of cooking all day, the pressure cooking function allows for putting together a meal in just minutes!

One of my favorite time savers when cooking is this frozen garlic by Dorot.  The minced garlic is packaged in individual cubes and can be added to any recipe.  No need to defrost, it cooks up quickly.  I buy it at Trader Joe's but have also seen it at the local grocery store as well.
