Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- It’s hearty, creamy and packed with flavor! Seasoned with cumin, garlic powder and chili powder this White Chicken Chili recipe really packs a punch with a dash of sriracha added for an extra kick!
- This easy keto chili is made with shredded chicken, so it can also be used to use up leftover turkey during the holidays. It’s made from basic ingredients you’ll probably have to hand from other seasonal recipes.
Chef’s Tips
- You can use any hot sauce in this Keto White Chicken Chili 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!
- 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.

So delicious! My first time trying WCC before! Is this soup freezer friendly since it has dairy in it?
You can! Just let it cool completely, then freeze it in an airtight container. When you’re ready to enjoy it again, defrost it overnight in the fridge, then reheat it slowly on the stovetop over a lower temperature until it’s warmed through.
Tried this tonight and my husband and I both loved it. Next time I’ll add a bit more liquid ( chic broth) and up the seasonings appropriately to make it more soup like. Flavor was perfect!
So glad you and your husband loved the chili! Thanks for sharing, Becky!
What size are your servings? Just trying to decide how much soup to make for my family. I’m really excited to make this one!
Soups cook down a little differently every time, so it’s hard to give a yield or serving size in specific amounts. This recipe yields approximately 6 servings depending on portion size, so you’d need to take however much soup you have at the end of the recipe and divide it evenly by 6 to get a specific measurement. I know that’s not really helpful for planning ahead, though. If you decide to double it and end up having too much, it freezes well, so you could always portion some out for later!
So good , love the kick it has!
So glad you enjoyed, Lori! Thanks so much for the review!

I made this and modified it a little as I am a whimp when it comes to spice and it was delicious.
That’s great, Amy! Always feel free to alter spice levels to fit your preferences! Thanks so much for the review!

So glad you both enjoyed, Mary! Thanks so much for your review!
This was SO AMAZING!! I have an old recipe that I’ve always made but it’s not keto. I was skeptical making this because it didn’t look like mine and seemed kind of thick. My family and I took one bite and everyone said, “WOW!!! This is better than the one you’ve made for years!!!” Thank you fir sharing! Can’t wait to impress my Keto coworker tomorrow.
Haha, talk about high praise! Thank you so much for sharing, Molly! I hope your coworker enjoyed it, too 🙂
