- 2-3 boneless chicken breasts
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 can white Northern beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 small can of corn
- 1 can diced tomatoes and green chilis
- 1 packet ranch seasoning & salad dressing mix
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 Tbsp chili powder
- pinch or salt and pepper (for chicken breasts)
- 1 package cream cheese, 8 oz
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or pepper jack cheese
- Optional toppings: cooked bacon, green onions, shredded cheese (yes more cheese!)
To start, put chicken breasts seasoned with salt and pepper as well as 1 cup of chicken stock into the Instant Pot. Set to Manual for 25 minutes, make sure that the lid is set to Sealing. Once chicken breasts are cooked, remove and shred. Back into the Instant Pot they go with the beans, corn, tomatoes, ranch seasoning, cumin, chili powder, cream cheese, shredded cheese, and 1 cup of chicken stock. There is no right or wrong order to this, but that is the great thing about this Instant Pot recipe! Give the ingredients a good stir and then set the Instant Pot to Slow Cook for 30-40 minutes. You can also add more spice to this recipe is you like chili with more of a kick, could try jalapeno peppers or a little salsa if you like.
After a good simmer, the chili is ready to eat! Top with some shredded cheese and green onions to serve. I hope you enjoy this recipe at home or on your next camping adventure! Enjoy!
