GREEN CHICKEN CHILI



Green Chicken Chili image

The green color in this chili comes from the combination of poblano and Anaheim peppers, along with tomatillos. This combination results in a fresh, light-flavored chili. To dress it up, serve it with crushed corn chips, a mild white cheese such as queso quesadilla, chopped fresh cilantro, and sour cream as garnishes.

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your dish the best flavor. If possible, try to use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When cooking rice in the Instant Pot, it's important to not overcrowd the pot. This will prevent the rice from cooking evenly.

  • Season to taste: Once the dish is cooked, taste it and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or other spices.
