PEARL CHATS: The creaminess and flavor of this chili make you sorry for anyone else not eating the Trim Healthy way! It uses salsa verde, a green salsa that can be found in almost any grocery store and is an excellent sauce to enjoy on the Trim Healthy Plan, as it has only one net carb per serving. There are not one, but two, secret veggies in this chili. They are completely undetectable; all they’ll do is sneakily improve the health of your family. The cauliflower softens so much it melts into the creamy sauce and the blood sugar–regulating okra is hidden in the beautiful, creamy color of this chili. Don’t worry about the one can of beans here. It is not enough to mess with S mode. This recipe is found in the “Sanity-Saving Crockpot & Electric Pressure Cooker Meals” section of Trim Healthy Table Cookbook, page 78. This recipe is a family-serve recipe that feeds 6 to 8 people.

ELECTRIC PRESSURE COOKER DIRECTIONS: Add everything to the pressure cooker (including the blended sauce and remaining cup of broth). Seal and cook at high pressure for 25 minutes. Use natural pressure release. Shred the chicken.
NOTE: This recipe was created and tested using a 6-quart Instant Pot. If you are using a different brand or different size electric pressure cooker, consider modifying the recipe as your results may vary from ours. Example: If you are using an 8-quart, consider adding more liquid as the larger circumference often needs more liquid to come to pressure.)
