Ingredients

  • Shredded chicken
  • Onion powder
  • Chili powder
  • Garlic powder
  • Cumin
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Butter
  • Chicken broth
  • Heavy cream
  • Cream cheese – If you are on keto, use full-fat cream cheese
  • Sriracha
  • Monterey Jack cheese shredded – You can use other shredded cheese if you’d like, like Colby Jack or cheddar
  • Diced green chilis
  • Garlic cloves
  • Green onions – The white bases. You can use the green parts as garnish.

Chef’s Tips

  • You can use any hot sauce you like if you don’t have Sriracha. The chili is also amazing with Frank’s Red Hot, Louisiana, or Tapatío.
  • You can cook your own chicken or buy a rotisserie chicken and shred it using the methods in The Best Shredded Chicken. If you have an Instant Pot, this recipe for shredded chicken is super easy!

Instructions 

  • In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken with chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  • In a stock pot or thick-bottomed Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and white parts of green onions. Cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
  • Add chicken broth, heavy cream, cream cheese, and sriracha to pot. Bring to a simmer and cook until cream cheese is melted. Add the seasoned chicken, Monterey Jack cheese, and diced green chilis. Stir together.
  • Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally for 20 minutes. Make sure to keep an eye on the chili so it does not burn. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with green parts of green onions if desired and serve warm.

Notes

  • Hot Sauce: You can use any hot sauce you like if you don’t have Sriracha. The chili is also amazing with Frank’s Red Hot, Louisiana, or Tapatío.
  • Shredded Chicken: You can cook your own chicken and shred it by hand or buy a rotisserie chicken and shred it. If you have an Instant Pot, this recipe for shredded chicken is easy.
  • Cheese: I highly recommend buying a block of cheese and shredding it yourself. Fresh cheese melts better, and prepackaged cheese contains fillers and anti-clumping agents that add unnecessary carbs and starches.

    Very good, but would prefer a low fat, lower calorie version.

      You’re welcome to make any adjustments you’d like in order to fulfill your personal dietary needs! Unfortunately it’s impossible for us to accommodate every possible need with the default recipe, and this is designed to be a keto recipe, so it’s intended to have a high fat content. You can easily reduce the amounts of fat and calories in this one by using half-and-half instead of heavy cream, using a reduced fat cream cheese, using less cheese or using a reduced fat cheese, and/or by dividing the total yield into 8 servings rather than 6.
