This white chicken chili is packed full of green chilies and chicken thighs. It creates a generous 12 cup batch that is sure to leave some delicious leftovers. A fun alternative to traditional beef chilies.

It’s simple to cook, and fast to cleanup, if you use your Instant Pot. If you don’t own an Instant Pot then you could brown the chicken and onions on a stovetop, then simmer the chili in a slow cooker for 6-8 hours.

It’s a bit protein heavy, so just keep that in mind when planning out the rest of your day. You can reduce it to 27.42 grams of protein by changing the serving size to 1 cup.
