What instant pot do I use?
I get asked all the time which instant pot I use and this is one very similar to the one I have. I bought mine a long time ago and they have so many different models now a days, so I say you go with what will work best for your budget.
What ingredients do I need?
- Chicken bone broth
- Chicken breast
- White kidney beans
- Cilantro
- Homemade tomatillo salsa (or you can buy the tomatillo salsa from Trader Joes)
- Pumpkin seeds
- Primal Palate taco seasoning (substitute cumin and and chili powder if you don’t have this)
- Yellow onion
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Avocado oil
- Minced garlic
How to prepare the chili:
Preparing the chili is pretty much fail proof, so don’t worry you can’t mess this up. You are going to first set your instant pot to the sauté function, add your avocado oil, and warm for a minute or so. Then add in your diced onions, salt and pepper taste, and sauté for a few minutes. After your onions are nice and caramelized add your chicken, minced garlic, seasoning, and brown for a couple minutes. Next, add your bone broth, tomatillo salsa, cover your instant pot, make sure your valve is sealed, and set to manual high pressure for 8 minutes. Once done let the pressure release naturally for about 10-15 minutes, then pull the valve towards you to release any additional pressure. Lastly, add your rinsed and drained white kidney beans to pot, mix, and let sit for a few minutes before serving.
