Add in minced garlic cloves, salt, black pepper and spices. Pour in a can of diced tomatoes and two cups of chicken broth.

Stir everything together and put the lid on the Instant Pot. Set it to seal and use the chili setting, if you have it, or manually pressure cook on high for 20 minutes.

Add the chicken back in to the chili and stir to combine everything. Serve in bowls and enjoy!

Can this be made on the stove?

Yes, this recipe can be made on the stovetop or in a slow cooker.

Stovetop

If using stovetop, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat, then add diced onion, bell pepper and jalapeño to the pan. Stir and cook until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add in minced garlic and a can of diced tomatoes. Stir to combine. Stir in spices, salt and pepper and chicken broth. Bring chili to a simmer. Turn down heat to medium-low, cover and cook for about 45 minutes. Remove chicken, shred, return it back to the pot, stir and serve.
