Keto White Chicken Chili
This keto white chicken chili is the ultimate keto comfort food! Quick, easy, and packed full of flavor, it's perfect on cold days or when you just need a filling, low carb meal.
servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups shredded chicken
- 1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1-2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ cup green onion chopped, white and green parts separated
- ¾ cup chicken broth
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 teaspoon sriracha
- 1 ½ cup Monterey Jack cheese shredded, at room temperature
- 2 4-ounce cans diced green chilies 8 ounces total, undrained
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.

Wow this soup recipe is a keeper!!
We’re so glad you loved it! Thanks for sharing, Lynette!
Family and Co-Workers both have loved this recipe
Yay, we’re so happy to hear it!!
My husband started Keto and I needed more selection and I found this recipe. We loved it so I decided to make it for a church chili cookoff so my husband would have something to eat. I never dreamed I would win!!!!! Yay! Fabulous recipe!
Oh that is huge! Congratulations!!
Unbelievably flavorful and easy to make! So creamy and a hit for the whole family!
We’re so glad it was a hit with the whole family!
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.
Delicious
So glad you enjoyed it, Sue!
