Did Santa Claus bring you a pressure cooker for Christmas? Break it in with this amazing new white chicken chili recipe from out food blogger Ashleigh.
White Chicken Chili in less than 30 minutes? You have our attention!
Pressure cookers are all of the rage right now for busy cooks with lots of mouths to feed and there’s one big reason why: slow-cooked taste in a fraction of the time. They’re especially great for cooking chili, soups, stews and, of course, beans.
White chicken chili is the perfect winter warmer. Because white chicken chili recipes are creamier and use less chili powder along with chicken and white beans as opposed to your typical ground beef and kidney bean chili recipe the results are usually a chili recipe that is more savory and less spicy. But don’t worry this recipe has enough kick to hold its own.
If you’re not a huge fan of spice, feel free to substitute green chiles for the jalapeños, but the dish alone isn’t going to knock your socks off with spicy. It’s a nice mild and complimentary kind of heat. We really love this recipe because it is is extremely pantry friendly and it’s easy to keep everything on hand for a cold winter day.
Whip this recipe up for your next get-together or a party! Just cook the chili quickly and create a toppings bar. Friends can create their own bowl with favorite add-ons.
And don’t worry, for those of you who don’t have a pressure cooker, you can make this recipe just as easily in your crock pot or on the stove top with just a few changes.
