I have this ongoing list of recipes that I want to make. Literally, I’ve designated an entire notebook just for these ideas. Can I tell you, some form of white bean chili has been on there FOR.EV.ER.
Then a few months ago I saw my friend Kristy make this on her Instagram stories and game over. I needed this Coconut Lime White Chicken Chili in my life, and I needed it now.
The first time I made this recipe I did it in my slow cooker, as she originally created it. It was delicious. I planned ahead, I had the time and I made it for a good friend who was coming over for dinner. Devine is a drastic understatement for how delicious it was.
The second time I made this dish I tried it in the Instant Pot and I gotta say, I loved it even more! It took 30 minutes from start to finish, and tasted like it had been cooking all freaking day.
5 million of you guys asked for the recipe so guess what… It’s here, forever! For you!
It’s easy, delicious and I can’t wait to hear how much you love it too!

I purchased an Instant Pot last week and tried it and this recipe for the first time tonight. Oh. My. Goodness. What an easy and delicious recipe! My whole family had seconds, including my daughter who doesn’t usually eat beans and chili! I did omit the green chilies since the salsa verde I bought was “medium”, the perfect kick for our liking. We’ll definitely be adding this to our regular menu rotation.

My cousin recommended this to me after making it last week. We just made it tonight and I agree it’s super easy. And so flavorful!! Does this or any of your recipes have calorie counts?
Thank you

I LOVE this recipe as is but the guys in my house don’t like beans. Should I just double the chicken? Any thoughts on how to solve the problem without kicking them out? Thanks!
Life is but a Dish
Yes totally!!

If I used chicken thighs, how would the time adjust? Thanks!
