Notes

Store: Refrigerate up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight, then reheat on a stovetop covered while simmering on low. Make ahead: Combine and refrigerate ingredients right in inner pot of Instant Pot covered for up to 2 days. Can add chicken right before cooking. Freezer meal: Add all ingredients from step 1 (minus the broth) to a gallon Ziploc bag, let out as much air as possible, seal and freeze for up to 3 months. Cook from frozen + broth as per recipe. Dried beans: Use 1 cup dried and rinsed white beans with 2 cups of stock and cook chili for 35 minutes. Frozen chicken breasts: You can add them right in, no need to thaw but make sure they are separated. Same cook time. For 3 Quart Instant Pot: Cut ingredients in half and keep same cook time.
