Make this rich, creamy Keto White Chicken Chili. It is a simple, low-carb comfort food that uses shredded chicken and comes together quickly for a satisfying weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles, undrained
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, cubed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (optional, for extra richness)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic, cumin, and oregano to the pot. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and add the undrained green chiles. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  4. Stir in the shredded chicken. Reduce the heat to low.
  5. Add the cubed cream cheese, stirring constantly until the cheese melts completely and the chili thickens into a creamy consistency. This step creates the rich texture without beans.
  6. Stir in the salt and pepper. If you desire a richer texture, stir in the heavy cream now.
  7. Simmer gently for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed before serving your **low carb white chicken chili**.

Notes

  • For a slow cooker method, combine all ingredients except the heavy cream in the slow cooker. Cook on low for 4-6 hours. Stir in the cream cheese during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • This recipe is naturally **beanless keto chili** and gluten free.
  • Serve this **creamy keto chili recipe** topped with avocado slices or fresh cilantro.
