Can you freeze Pressure-Cooker Jalapeno Popper Chicken Chili?

Before adding toppings, cool chili. Freeze chili in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally; add water or broth if necessary. Sprinkle with toppings.


Test Kitchen tips
  • To prepare this in a slow cooker meal, combine all ingredients in a 6-qt. slow cooker and cook on low for 6 hours.
  • You can swap out ground chicken for boneless skinless chicken breasts. Add them to the pot after you saute the veggies and proceed with the recipe. Shred the chicken after cooking.
  • Leftover chili freezes beautifully. Store up to 6 months in the freezer in air-tight containers.

    • Peppers (Hot)

    Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
