- Add in chicken, canned beans, chicken broth, spices and green chilies. Mix together.
- Cover Instant Pot and secure lid. Set valve to sealing. Set the manual button or pressure cook button to 20 minutes. Or 25 minutes if the chicken is frozen.
- When the timer beeps, leave lid on for another 10 minutes. Move the valve to venting to release any remaining pressure.

Notes
**For Crockpot, stir together all ingredients in the crockpot up through the green chilies. Cook on low for 4 hours. Shred the chicken.
Next, in a small saucepan make a roux. Melt the butter and whisk in the flour. Slowly add the milk over medium heat. Whisk occasionally till thickened. Add the sour cream. Stir the roux into the shredded chicken in the crock pot. Add in the rest of the ingredients. Lime juice, cilantro, salt and pepper to taste.
