Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 cans (15 oz each) white beans, drained and rinsed
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 cans (4 oz each) diced green chilies
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin

- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels
- Juice of 1 lime
- Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

Directions
- Heat the olive oil in the pressure cooker on the sauté setting. Add the onion and garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 3-5 minutes.

- Stir in the white beans, chicken broth, green chilies, cumin, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

- After cooking, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then use the quick-release method to release any remaining pressure.

- Serve hot, garnished with cilantro, and, if desired, shredded cheese and sour cream.
