Ingredients

Instructions

Instructions for Instant Pot:

  • Turn Instant Pot to saute and add butter, onions, green peppers, jalapenos, and seasoning.
  • Saute until the onions are translucent.
  • Add chicken broth and cubed chicken. (I cut my chicken into big cubes.)
  • Set Instant Pot to cook on manual for 15 minutes. It will take several minutes for the Instant Pot to come to pressure then it will begin to count backward.
  • When it is finished with the cycle, allow a 5-minute natural release.
  • When the 5 minutes are complete, release steam. I always cover the valve with a towel while the steam is releasing.
  • Turn the Instant Pot to saute.
  • Remove the chicken and, using two forks, shred in big chunks, then return the chicken to Instant Pot.
  • Add heavy whipping cream, softened cream cheese, cheeses, and cooked bacon, stirring until the cheeses melt.
  • Sprinkle
    xanthan gum on top to thicken the soup and turn Instant Pot to warm.
  • Simmer for 10-15 minutes so that the soup can thicken. It takes Xanthan Gum a few minutes to work. 
  • Serve with grated Monterrey Jack Cheese, Cheddar Cheese, jalapenos, and cooked bacon sprinkled on top.

For the Crock Pot:

  • Melt butter in a saucepan and saute onions, green peppers, jalapenos, and seasoning until onions are translucent.
  • Spoon mixture into Crock Pot, then add chicken breasts and chicken broth.
  • Cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-7 hours.
  • Remove chicken, shred and then return chicken to the Crock Pot.
  • Add softened cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, cheeses, and cooked bacon, stirring until the cheeses melt. Cover and cook on high for 10 minutes so the flavors can combine. 
  • Sprinkle Xanthan Gum on top to thicken the soup. Simmer on low with the lid off for 10-15 minutes.
  • Serve with grated Monterrey Jack Cheese, Cheddar Cheese, jalapenos, and bacon sprinkled on top.
