GREEN CHICKEN CHILI



Green Chicken Chili image

The green color in this chili comes from the combination of poblano and Anaheim peppers, along with tomatillos. This combination results in a fresh, light-flavored chili. To dress it up, serve it with crushed corn chips, a mild white cheese such as queso quesadilla, chopped fresh cilantro, and sour cream as garnishes.

INSTANT POT GREEN CHILI CHICKEN TACOS

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons avocado oil
4 scallions, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, gently smashed
1 jalapeno, minced (leave the seeds in)
1/2 cup chicken stock
Three 4-ounce cans diced mild green chiles
2 limes, zest removed, limes halved
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more as needed
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more as needed
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
Butter lettuce cups, for servings
Sliced avocado, for serving
Cilantro leaves, for garnish
Thinly sliced radish rounds, for garnish

Steps:

  • Set a 6-quart Instant Pot® to high saute (see Cook's Note). When hot, add in the oil, scallions, garlic and jalapeno. Cook, stirring, until softened and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Hit cancel.
  • Add the stock, chiles, lime zest, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper. Mix together. Add in the chicken and stir so everything is coated and covered. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set pressure to normal (or "poultry" setting) for 20 minutes.
  • After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick-release cycle is complete. Being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid.
  • Set the pot to high saute and cook 12 to 15 minutes, stirring frequently. As you stir the chicken will begin to break apart and shred. You want most of the liquid to absorb, leaving a thick sauce. Squeeze in the juice of the halved limes. Taste the chili and add more salt or pepper if needed.
  • To serve, fill the lettuce cups with the shredded chicken followed by a few slices of avocado, cilantro leaves and radish rounds.

Tips:

  • For a smokier flavor, roast the chicken breasts in the Instant Pot before adding the other ingredients.
  • If you don't have salsa verde, you can substitute 1 cup of regular salsa and 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro.
  • To make the chili spicier, add 1 or 2 chopped jalapeño peppers.
  • For a creamier chili, stir in 1/2 cup of sour cream or Greek yogurt before serving.
  • Serve the chili with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, or tortilla chips.

Conclusion:

This Instant Pot Green Chili Chicken and Rice is a quick and easy one-pot meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. With tender chicken, flavorful green chili sauce, and fluffy rice, this dish is sure to be a family favorite. The best part is that it can be customized to your liking, so you can make it as mild or spicy as you want.
