What’s In White Chicken Chili?

CHICKEN: Ground chicken, turkey, Italian sausage, even sliced summer sausage are all meats that can be used in chili – it’s also a great recipe to use up leftover meats.

SOUP: The key to this rich and creamy dish is cream cheese and heavy whipping cream. For a thinner chili, use Greek yogurt and half and half.

SEASONINGS: This recipe only needs a few seasonings like garlic, cumin, and chili powder, but why not try this homemade southwestern seasoning that can be used for white chicken chili. Extra seasoning tastes great on taco lettuce wraps, grilled fish tacos, or stir into a dill veggie dip to spice things up.

EXTRAS: Chili is a great recipe for all kinds of extras that will make it new every time! Keeping it keto, choose veggies like diced zucchini, shredded brussels sprouts, finely chopped spinach or kale, sliced black olives, sliced jalapenos, and shredded cheese like cheddar, mozzarella, a Mexican blend, or crumbled cotija.

Tips & Tricks

• Use a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to save time.
• A bag of low-carb frozen vegetables can be added to the chili in Step 4 (no need to thaw).
• Keep leftover keto white chicken chili in a covered container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave.
• Freeze portions in zippered bags for up to 8 weeks, however, dairy-based soups and chilis will need an extra cup or two of fresh cream to get that velvety texture again.
