Instructions

1
Saute the aromatics. Set the Instant Pot to SAUTE - NORMAL. Add olive oil, then onion. Cook 5-6 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds.
2
Bloom the spices. Add cumin, paprika, oregano, cayenne, chili powder, and white pepper. Stir for about 30 seconds. If the spices begin sticking, add a small splash of broth.
3
Deglaze completely. Pour in 1/2 cup of the chicken broth and scrape the bottom until no browned bits remain. This helps prevent a burn warning.
4
Pressure cook. Add the remaining broth, both cans of Rotel, and the 4 oz can of green chiles. Stir. Cancel SAUTE, lock the lid, and cook on HIGH pressure for 8 minutes. Allow a 10-minute natural release, then release the remaining pressure.
5
Add the beans. Blend 1 cup of the cannellini beans with about 1/4 cup hot broth from the pot until mostly smooth. Stir the bean puree and the remaining whole beans into the chili.
6
Melt the cheese gently. Select SAUTE - LOW. Add Monterey Jack one handful at a time, stirring until melted before adding more. Do not let the chili boil.
7
Add the chicken. Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken and warm for 3-5 minutes.
8
Temper the dairy. In a bowl, whisk the sour cream, whole milk, and 1/2 cup hot chili liquid. Slowly stir this mixture into the pot while it remains on low heat.
