What kind of beans do I use in this White Bean Chicken Chili soup?

For this White Bean Chicken Chili I use two different types of beans. The Great Northern Beans and Cannellini Beans. The Cannellini Beans are also known as White Kidney Beans. They are meatier than Great Northern beans, they have a nutty, earthy flavor and tender flesh, and are often used in Italian dishes like Minestrone.  The combination of these beans along with green chilies, chicken soup, and seasonings makes this chili incredibly delicious!

How do I make this White Bean Chicken Chili?

Combine all ingredients except for sour cream into crockpot and cook for 6-8 hours on low.

Shred chicken using a fork. It will be super tender-and easy to break up.

Stir in the nonfat sour cream 30 minutes before it’s done cooking.

Can this White Bean Chicken Chili be made in the Instant Pot?

Yes! It sure can. Here’s the directions for the Instant Pot.

Instant Pot Directions:

1. Sauté the onion in your Instant Pot for 4 minutes or until onion is translucent.
2. Then add garlic.
3. Add the remaining chili ingredients to your Instant Pot except for light cream cheese cubes. 
4. Stir and close the lid, set the valve on “sealing”, and cook on high pressure for 8 minutes. This can take up to 10 minutes for the Instant Pot to get up to pressure.
5. Once it’s finished, do a quick pressure release. 
6. Remove chicken from Instant Pot and shred with two forks and return to the Instant Pot.
7. Stir in the light cream cheese cubes and press the “sauté” button so it heats through, about 2 minutes.  
8. Stir until well combined. Then serve with your favorite toppings!
