Notes

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. Combine and refrigerate ingredients right in inner pot of Instant Pot covered for up to 2 days. Can add chicken right before cooking. 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. Use 1 cup dried and rinsed white beans with 2 cups of stock and cook chili for 35 minutes. You can add frozen chicken breasts directly, no need to thaw but make sure they are separated. For 3 Quart Instant Pot, cut ingredients in half and keep same cook time.
