  • Remove the sheet pan from the  oven  once the edges of everything are blackened.  Remove the garlic cloves from the head and  place  into a blender.  Add the tomatillos, onion, jalapeno, and 1/2 cup of cilantro to the blender, and blend until smooth.
  • Once the salsa verde has been blended together, place the mixture into the instant pot.  Add the chicken (it can be completely frozen!), chicken both, beans, corn, and seasonings.  Mix to combine.
  • Once the white chicken chili has been mixed, place the instant pot lid on, and secure it properly.  Adjust the Intant pot to normal pressure for thirty minutes, and begin cooking.  Once the timer has gone off, quick release the Instant Pot.
  • Remove lid once all the pressure has been released, and serve!  Enjoy!
