A creamy, flavorful chili combining chicken, pumpkin, and warming spices, perfect for fall and easy to make on stovetop or Instant Pot.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast, diced or shredded
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 poblano pepper, chopped
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, chopped
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (15 oz) canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 can diced green chilis
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 4 oz cream cheese or 1/2 cup coconut milk

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, cook chicken, onion, poblano, and jalapeño peppers until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are softened.
  2. Add chili powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper; stir to coat the chicken and vegetables with spices.
  3. Add diced tomatoes, pumpkin puree, diced green chilis, and chicken broth; stir to combine.
  4. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes to meld flavors.
  5. Stir in cream cheese or coconut milk until fully incorporated and creamy.
  6. Simmer an additional 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

This chili can be made in an Instant Pot by sautéing the chicken and vegetables first, then pressure cooking with the liquids for 8 minutes. Use cream cheese for a richer texture or coconut milk for a dairy-free option. Adjust spice levels to taste.
