Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1½ tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp paprika
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 1 (4 oz) can green chiles
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- 4 oz cream cheese, cubed
- 3 cups cooked rotisserie chicken, shredded
Instructions
- Start by heating the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium-low heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the chopped onion and cook until it’s softened and translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes. This step adds a foundational flavor to your chili. When the onion is ready, stir in the minced garlic and continue cooking until the garlic is fragrant and just golden, taking care not to let it burn.
- Next, it’s time to introduce the spices! Sprinkle in the dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Give everything a good stir and sauté for about one minute to toast the spices slightly, which will enhance their flavors and aroma.
- Pour in the chicken stock along with the green chiles and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and allow the chili to cook uncovered for about 25 minutes. Stir occasionally and watch as the broth reduces by about one-third, intensifying the flavors of your dish.
- Once your chili has reduced, lower the heat to medium. Incorporate the heavy whipping cream and cubed cream cheese into the pot, stirring well to ensure everything blends smoothly. Finally, add the shredded rotisserie chicken to the pot and continue to simmer for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is warmed through and the chili is beautifully creamy.
- Once your chili reaches the desired heat and creaminess, it’s time to serve! Ladle it into bowls and top with your favorite garnishes, such as a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of shredded cheese, or fresh slices of avocado. Enjoy the warm, comforting flavors of your Keto White Chicken Chili!
Notes
This chili can be made ahead of time, as the flavors develop beautifully after sitting for a few hours or overnight in the fridge.
