Easy Keto White Chicken Chili Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon oil, or as needed
• 1 stick butter, divided
• 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• 1.5 teaspoons chili powder
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 0.75 cup chicken broth
• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 1.5 tablespoons onion powder
• 2 teaspoons cumin
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce
• 1.5 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese
• 2 (4 ounce) cans chopped green chilies

Instructions

1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet.
2. Season the chicken with chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Place the chicken in the hot skillet and cook on one side for 5 minutes without disturbing it. Flip the chicken and continue cooking, turning occasionally to prevent burning, until cooked through and no longer pink inside (approximately 10 to 15 minutes, depending on thickness). Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and let it cool for about 10 minutes, or until cool enough to handle. Shred the chicken using your fingers and set aside.
3. In a large, heavy pot, combine the remaining 6 tablespoons of butter, chicken broth, heavy cream, cream cheese, onion powder, cumin, and hot sauce. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the butter and cream cheese are fully melted and smooth.
4. Add the shredded chicken, Monterey Jack cheese, and green chiles to the chili in the pot. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
