Buttery Chicken Chili with Crème Fraiche

"This deliciously flavorful and easy chili, with Thai, Indian, and French influence, is ready in under 1 hour in the instant pot. Warmly spiced with a bit of heat in the finish, the velvety, Black Box Buttery Chardonnay-infused sauce tastes like it’s been slowly simmered for hours. Topped with crème fraiche, lime juice and fresh cilantro, and served with warmed naan for dipping, the buttery chicken in this delectable chili has a wonderful depth of flavor and simply melts in your mouth. A chilled glass of Black Box Buttery Chardonnay is the perfect complement to this crowd-pleasing chili."
