INSTANT POT (PRESSURE COOKER) DIRECTIONS: 1. Add chicken breasts to pressure cooker (I personally use a 6 pt. Instant Pot). 2. Add in onions, garlic, chicken broth, beans, green chiles, cilantro, corn, salt, black pepper, cumin, oregano, chili powder, and cayenne powder. Stir. 3. Cube cream cheese and place on top of the chili. 4. Cover and seal with led, switch the valve to the "sealing" position and cook for 20 min. on manual high pressure. Once it is done cooking, let it naturally depressurize for 10 min. then switch the valve to the "venting" position to completely release steam before opening lid.** 5. Remove the chicken breasts to a plate or bowl and shred with 2 forks. 6. Add half and half. Stir everything together in the pot to melt the cream cheese into the chili and warm the half and half, then return the shredded chicken and stir to combine.
Serve garnish as desired.
