Join the discussionIs this with already cooked chicken?
Not this time. If the chicken should be cooked ahead of time it will say “3 ¾ cups cook dice Chicken, Boneless Breasts” and yes it will say “cook” instead of “cooked” 🙂
What are “chili” beans? Kidney beans? Do you use dried or a can?
Chili beans are chili beans. You should be able to find them with the beans in the grocery store! 🙂 If you opt for other beans, yes, kidney beans would be the closest. We’re using canned but you can also use dried. Enjoy!
Is there no liquid in this soup?
The tomato sauce serves as the liquid in this recipe!
If using dried beans,will there be additionalliquids added?
If using dried beans, how do I adjust liquid?
Rachel, there shouldn’t be a need for additional liquid, but you will want to make sure that your beans have soaked sufficiently before cooking. Let us know how it turns out!
Just FYI, the ingredients list has an error. On the tomato sauce it states “5 1/3 oz” when it should be at least 15 oz. Thanks!
Hi Johanna, Our Menu Builder team reviewed this recipe. The tomato sauce amount is correct in this recipe. We scaled the recipe to fit in the Instant Pot and our test cooks have tested this recipe. I hope this helps. Thanks for your feedback! ~OAMM
How many minutes… if I am doubling the recipe??
Hi Jen! As a general rule, to increase your serving size for every 2 servings add 2 – 5 minutes. Check out this great article we have on Instant Pot tips and tricks for adjusting serving sizes and cook times. Hope this helps!

Can I make 12 servings in a 6qt pot? If so how long do I set it for?
We haven’t tested 12 servings of this particular recipe in a 6 quart, but I would hesitate to recommend that as the 6 quart generally holds 4-6 servings, sometimes up to 8, and the 8 quart is better for 8+ servings. However it will depend on how large the serving size is for each particular recipe.
Will this fit in a Duo Mini?
Hi Kathryn — 4 servings is probably too much for for a Duo Mini (usually serves 2-3 for a 3qt. You could cut the dish down by 1/3 or half to fit in your Instant Pot.
I have a Ninja Foodi. Will this recipe (and other instant pot recipes) work using the pressure cooking feature of the Ninja Foodi?
Hi Kelli! Great question! As long as you are working with an electric programable pressure cooker where you can manually set your time, then yes! We love our Instant Pot and tend to use it’s name interchangeably with ‘pressure cooker’, but we can totally understand the confusion. Thanks so much for asking and happy cooking!
Can I add corn and not take out onion?
Hi Emily! Yes, you can always make the recipes your own. You can remove the onion and possibly add a little onion powder, or don’t replace it at all, it’s up to you. Corn sounds like a yummy addition!
So I just made this as a prepare for now, and I followed every direction and ingredient exact and there was no where near enough liquid to be called soup let alone a chilli if some kind. It ended up burning to my instant pot and my IP gave me the food burning warning. I transferred to a stock pot to finish cooking.
We’re sorry to hear this wasn’t a hit for you! Feel free to add additional liquid to your preference! Thanks for letting us know!
