Why You’ll Love This Recipe
By now, you know just how much I love preparing delicious and healthy meals in my trusted Instant Pot. It’s perfect to use for making soups, for meal-prepping, and easy weeknight dinners. And this Instant Pot white chicken chili recipe is no different!
Here’s why you’ll love this easy dairy-free, Paleo white chicken chili:
It’s versatile, easy, and full of flavor. It’s a crowd favorite in my house!
This recipe is perfect if you are following a Paleo way of eating or if you’re on theWhole30 diet. It’s made with sweet potatoes instead of beans!
It’s filling and satisfying with plenty of protein, and healthy fats.
Add the chicken breast to the instant pot first, then add the remaining ingredients.
Stir all the ingredients together. Lock the lid on, and cook on “manual” high pressure for 20 minutes.
Let the instant pot naturally release for 10 minutes, then turn the knob to “venting”. Remove the chicken breast to a plate and shred using two forks. Add the chicken back to the instant pot and stir. Serve and garnish with all your favorite toppings!
Serving Suggestions
Garnish this Whole30 white chicken chili with some chopped cilantro, sliced avocado, minced onion, fresh-squeezed lime juice, sliced jalapeƱos, grain-free tortilla chips, and a dollop of coconut cream, full-fat Greek yogurt, or dairy free sour cream.
Recipe Tips and Variations
For a thicker/creamier chili use 1/2 the amount of chicken broth or bone broth. You can also add in dairy free cream cheese (I like Kite Hill Cream Cheese) to thicken the chili and to add cheesy flavor.
If you already have cooked shredded chicken that you would like to use, make the chili in the instant pot on manual for 10 minutes, instead of 20 minutes. Stir the chicken in and heat through.
Instead of sweet potatoes, you can use gold potatoes, or russet potatoes. You can also keep it dairy free, but add legumes with white beans (Great Northern Beans).
Storage Suggestions
This Instant Pot white chicken chili is great for meal-prepping ahead of a busy week or stocking your freezer! Store any cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
You can also freeze this Paleo white chicken chili in an airtight, freezer-safe container or plastic bag for up to 2 months.

Place chicken breast in the bottom of the Instant Pot. Add in the onion, garlic, sweet potato, chicken broth, diced green chiles, lime juice, coconut milk, oregano, cumin, coriander, chili powder, cayenne pepper, and cilantro. Stir.
Place the lid on the Instant pot, move the venting knob to “sealing”, and cook on “Manual” at High Pressure for 20 minutes. Once the timer beeps, let it naturally release for 10 minutes, then move the knob to “venting” to let the remaining steam out.
Using tongs, remove the chicken breast to a plate and shred using two forks. Return the chicken back to the instant pot, and stir. Serve and garnish with favorite toppings.
Place chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker and top with the remainder of ingredients. Stir.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or high for 4-6 hours.
Using tongs, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred with two forks. Add the chicken back to the slow cooker and stir. Serve with favorite toppings.
Is the chicken supposed to be fresh or frozen?
