Looking for a great alternative to the standard Super Bowl chili" My husband actually made this recipe for us based off a recipe in our Instant Pot cookbook. He played with it a little and added the chicken and it has quickly become my favorite Instant Pot recipe. It's super healthy and packed with protein, but really delicious too. He makes a double batch and we freeze the rest for another meal.
If you have a healthier crowd that doesn't want to sacrifice flavor, this chili is for you. It's still hearty and red, but you lose all the saturated fat from the hamburger and gain all the protein from lentils. The chili powder and smoked paprika lend tons of flavor, and the chicken makes it super hearty -- so even the manliest men don't feel cheated by this chili. I make the chicken first to make sure it's cooked perfectly. (Actually I usually make a huge batch of chicken in the Instant Pot every Sunday and just use it throughout the week.) Then just throw everything else in and pressure cook it up!
