This is a chili that you'll find in the Mountain West--either Colorado or New Mexico. It has a medium heat and complex taste, thanks to green chiles from Hatch, New Mexico. The dish is a simple stew with a cohesive taste across different textures and flavors, that can be thickened as you like it. Serve with bread, tortillas, rice, or even over a breakfast burrito!

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound chicken breasts, cubed, or more to taste
½ large onion, diced
2 roasted Hatch chile peppers - seeded, de-veined, and diced, or more to taste
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups chicken broth
1 (16 ounce) jar salsa verde (green salsa)
1 (15.5 ounce) can white beans, drained and rinsed
2 ears corn, kernels cut from cob
¼ cup minced cilantro
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon potato starch
2 tablespoons cold water
1 lime, cut into wedges

Steps:

Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®), select Saute function, and add olive oil. Add chicken breast, onion, chile peppers, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper to hot oil. Saute until chicken is browned and onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add chicken broth, salsa verde, white beans, corn kernels, and cilantro; mix well. Turn off Saute mode.
Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 30 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil, or more as needed, divided
10 tomatillos - husked, stemmed, and halved
3 jalapeno peppers, halved and seeded
5 cloves garlic, crushed
2 ½ cups chicken broth, divided
3 pounds boneless pork shoulder, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes

Tips:

To enhance the smokiness of the dish, roast the chiles over an open flame or under the broiler until they are slightly charred. This step adds depth of flavor and complexity to the sauce.
For a spicier chili, use a combination of Anaheim, Poblano, and Serrano peppers. Alternatively, for a milder chili, use more Anaheim and Poblano peppers, and omit the Serrano peppers.
If you don't have tomatillos, you can substitute them with green tomatoes or a mixture of tomatoes and tomatillos.
Be sure to drain and rinse the hominy well before adding it to the chili. This will help to remove any excess starch and bitterness.
If you have time, let the chili simmer for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to develop and meld together.
Serve the chili with your favorite toppings, such as chopped cilantro, diced avocado, sour cream, or shredded cheese.

This Instant Pot Colorado Chile Verde is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
