Instant Pot Tomatillo Chicken Chili is a healthy but filling recipe for chicken chili filled with flavor from Lunds & Bylerly’s Tomatillo Verde Sauce Deli Cup or diced green chiles!

Instant Pot Tomatillo Chicken Chili

A chill in the air and sweaters appearing in my closet again signal one thing – it’s soup season!  I love pretty much any and every soup, stew, and chili, and it gets bonus points if it’s filling but still healthy.  That’s exactly what this Instant Pot Tomatillo Chicken Chili is!

This Instant Pot Tomatillo Chicken Chili checks all the boxes for me.  It’s easy to make, full of flavor, and comforting yet lighter and healthy! 

Ingredients in Tomatillo Chicken Chili

This chili starts with onion, garlic, a few cans of beans, chili powder, and cumin. It also has a Tomatillo Verde Sauce Deli Cup, which is a specialty ingredient from my favorite local grocery store, Lunds and Byerly’s. If you don’t live in the Twin Cities area, you can substitute 8 ounces of diced green chilis and it will do the trick!

Then the chili is topped off in the Instant Pot with chicken broth and a couple of chicken breasts. It is cooked in the Instant Pot in a quick 15 minutes and after shredding the chicken, it’s chili time!

This tomatillo chicken chili can be served with cornbread or tortilla chips, and topped with your favorite chili toppings.  I opted for a simple topping of chopped fresh cilantro and jalapeno peppers, but shredded cheese, sour cream or Greek yogurt, and chopped green onions would also be great.
