Instructions

Turn on the Instant Pot to sauté mode. Add olive oil and sauté diced onion until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add chicken breasts, beans, green chiles, cumin, oregano, chili powder, coriander, cayenne (if using), chicken broth, salt, and pepper.
Seal the Instant Pot lid and set to high pressure for 15 minutes.
Once cooking is complete, allow a natural pressure release for 10 minutes, then quick release any remaining pressure.
Remove the chicken and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
Stir in sour cream, cream cheese, and lime juice until well combined and creamy.
Switch to sauté mode and simmer for 5 minutes to thicken, if desired.
Serve hot with garnishes like chopped cilantro and shredded cheese.

Notes

You can use rotisserie chicken to save time—just reduce the pressure cook time to 5 minutes.
For a spicier chili, add a diced jalapeño with the onions or increase cayenne pepper.
Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
