Notes
You can also use chicken thigh for a juicier cut of chicken.
The black beans can be substituted for your favorite type of beans.
If you decide to use full sodium chicken broth, you may not need to add in any additional salt once your chicken chili has finished cooking. Make sure to taste the chili before adding any additional seasoning.
If you want to reduce the spiciness, omit the chili powder altogether and use plain diced tomatoes instead of Rotel.
On the other hand, if you want to make this recipe even spicier, add in an additional 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder.
Storage: Store Instant Pot chicken chili in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days, or freeze for 3 months.
