Ingredients
  

For the Chili Base
  • 2 cloves garlic Adds aromatic depth; fresh garlic enhances overall flavor.
  • 1 small onion Contributes sweetness; red onion provides a milder taste.
  • 4 cups chicken stock Opt for low-sodium for a healthier choice.
  • 4 oz green chiles Infuses a mild heat; substitute with diced jalapeños for extra spice.
For the Spices
  • 1 tsp oregano Introduces an herby flavor; feel free to use Italian seasoning for convenience.
  • 1.5 tsp cumin Delivers warmth and earthiness; ground coriander can also work well.
  • 1 tsp salt Enhances all flavors; adjust based on dietary needs.
  • 0.5 tsp pepper Adds a hint of warmth; white pepper offers a subtler heat.
  • 0.5 tsp paprika For a mild sweetness; try smoked paprika for a richer flavor.
  • 0.25 tsp cayenne pepper Optional, for an extra kick of heat.
For the Creaminess
  • 0.5 cup heavy whipping cream Provides luscious creaminess; coconut cream is a great dairy-free alternative.
  • 4 oz cream cheese Ensures a silky texture; make sure it’s at room temperature for easier blending.
For the Protein
  • 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken The main protein source; cooked chicken breast can also be used for a lighter option.

Equipment

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large soup pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-low heat. Allow the oil to warm for about 2 minutes until shimmering.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot, cooking for approximately 4-5 minutes until it becomes translucent and soft. Stir in the minced garlic, sautéing for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Sprinkle in the oregano, cumin, salt, pepper, paprika, and optional cayenne pepper. Sauté the spice mixture for about 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Pour in 4 cups of chicken stock and add the green chiles. Stir everything together and bring to a gentle low boil over medium heat, around 5 minutes.
  5. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the chili simmer uncovered for 25 minutes.
  6. Stir in 0.5 cup of heavy whipping cream and 4 oz of cream cheese, mixing until fully combined and creamy.
  7. Fold in 3 cups of shredded rotisserie chicken into your chili, continuing to cook on low for an additional 10-15 minutes.
  8. Remove the pot from heat and ladle your delicious Creamy Keto White Chicken Chili into bowls. Enjoy topped with sour cream, avocado slices, or shredded cheese.
