Notes
- For a thicker White Chicken Chili use 1/4 cup less water and drain all the liquid from the beans and corn
- You could also use a whole block of cream cheese (8oz) and add an additional chicken breast for a chunkier soup
- Cut the cream cheese into cubes to blend better into the soup after pressure cooking
- If you don’t have canned beans you can use about 1
- 5 cups of cooked leftover beans for each 15-oz can of beans called for
- Are you on a time crunch? Combine everything and pressure cook it on high for 20 minutes Shred the chicken and add it back in before serving
- To skip the shredding of the meat start with rotisserie chicken
