Easy Weeknight Instant Pot Chili
This Hurricane Ridge Chicken Chili is an easy weeknight chili that comes together in a snap.
Chicken chili isn’t usually what comes to mind when you think, “easy weeknight dinner.” But, with your trusty Instant Pot in hand, this soup is surprisingly fast and satisfying!
When I get home on weeknights and don’t want to cook anything, I make this easy Hurricane Ridge Chicken Chili in my Instant Pot. The last time I made the Hurricane Ride Chicken Chili, I got everything ready, then I went to the store to pick up sour cream. By the time I got back, the soup was done! This is a favorite for weeknights.
Honestly, the hardest part is rummaging through my fridge to see if I have any extra veggies that I can sneak in.
Read on for a guaranteed way to get dinner on the table in less time than it takes you to go to the store!! Okay, maybe not guaranteed, but it works for me.
Here’s where to get our Hurricane Ridge Chicken Chili.

- Put the rinsed beans, whole chicken breast, both spice packets, and any optional veggies in the Instant Pot.
