Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into bite sized pieces
  • ½ medium white onion chopped
  • 1 medium green pepper diced
  • 1 medium red pepper diced
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoon tbsp fajita seasoning
  • 5 cups chicken broth
  • 1 28 oz can diced tomatoes do not drain
  • 1 4 oz can of chopped green chilies
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened, cubed
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¾ cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  • Press sauté on your Instant Pot. Add in your olive oil. Allow the oil to heat up.
  • Add to your hot oil your chicken, and onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the chicken is browned, and the onions become translucent.
  • Still on sauté mode, add in your peppers. Mix and sauté for about 2 minutes – just allowing them to soften.
  • Press “cancel” on your Instant Pot. Add in your garlic, fajita seasoning, and broth. Mix and scrape the bottom of your Instant Pot. You want to make sure there isn’t a remnant of the chicken nor the veggies left on the bottom as you will receive a “Burn” notice.
  • Add in the tomatoes, and chiles. Stir.
  • Turn your Instant Pot onto High Pressure for 15 minutes. Make sure your sealing valve is closed and pushed away from you.
  • Once your Instant Pot is done cooking, manually release by bringing the sealing valve toward you.
  • Open the Instant Pot by removing the lid. Add in your cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and cream. Mix well until all of your cheese’s have melted.
  • Transfer to your soup bowl and top with any toppings you like! You can keep it as is for a low carb option or add tortilla chips/strips!
