30 Minute Instant Pot Chicken Chile Verde

Main Dish

Quick and easy Instant Pot Chicken Chile Verde that has tons of flavor – perfect for rice, in tacos, burritos and much more!

30 Minute Chicken Chile Verde

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love a good bowl of Chicken Chile Verde. Here in Arizona it’s pretty popular, next to a plate of warm tortillas and a little lime or lemon.

It’s definitely comfort food.

I first had Chicken Chile Verde in New Mexico ~ about ten years ago. It was delicious, yet amazingly spicy.

My husband loves to have Chicken Chile Verde, but for the last few years he has avoided anything spicy. When I made this, I had the notion of taking it to my in laws for dinner.

It never made it out of the house.

30 Minute Chicken Chile Verde

I think you could pretty much say that I’m addicted to my Instant Pot – it’s our electric pressure cooker.   I have had it for 5 months and every day I am looking for something new to make with it.

Why so much excitement over this appliance?

It’s so versatile – we can make everything from hard boiled eggs to soup, to cheesecake and even our own yogurt. It truly is pretty amazing. It cuts down our cooking time drastically.

Chicken Chile Verde

The best part about this Chicken Chile Verde is that it won’t take you longer than 30 minutes to make. And as long as you can dump things in a pot, it’ll be a success.

Rough chop the vegetables.

Dump them all in.

Add your chicken broth and push the button.

That’s just incredible – right?  

You might want an Immersion Blender (if you don’t have one) – you will need it at the end.

If your hands are sensitive like mine are, make sure you wear some gloves when handling the chiles. They might not seem hot offhand.. but once you cut them and throw them in the pot, you’ll find your hands burning (at least I did).

  • Instant Pot

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts or 3 lbs bone-in chicken
  • 3 poblano peppers roughly chopped, seeds tossed

  • 2 jalapeno peppers roughly chopped, seeds and stems discarded

Optional

  • 1/2 C cilantro chopped
  • 1 Tbsp fish sauce

Instructions

  • In the Instant Pot, add the Coconut Oil & turn push Saute.

  • Add chicken broth.
  • Lock the lid on the Instant Pot and set for manual (High) for 15 minutes.

Notes

  • Serrano peppers can be used in lieu of jalapeno peppers.
