This white chicken chili has been on my repertoire for a number of years. It’s so unassuming, and certainly not bright and cheery, but it is completely delicious, family friendly (it’s not super spicy, so it’s a great option for kids) and with some trial and error- also super easy to make in the instant pot (busy moms rejoice!). Make it with meal prepped shredded chicken or pulled rotisserie chicken for ease! It’s perfect for good nights with some crusty bread or cornbread on the side (or alone!).
