Chicken
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
Dairy
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
Liquids
Spices
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Combine Ingredients: In a large pot or Dutch oven, add the shredded chicken, cream cheese, chicken broth, and all the spices including cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir well to mix the cream cheese evenly with the broth and spices.
- Simmer the Chili: Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to ensure the cream cheese fully melts and blends into the broth, creating a creamy texture.
- Cook Until Tender: Continue to simmer for about 15–20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the chicken to become tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and to maintain a smooth consistency.
- Adjust Seasoning: Taste the chili and adjust salt, pepper, or spices as desired for a perfectly balanced flavor.
- Serve Warm: Ladle the creamy white chicken chili into bowls and serve hot. Garnish with optional toppings such as shredded cheese, chopped green onions, or avocado slices if desired.
Notes
- Using cooked shredded chicken saves cooking time and makes the recipe quick to prepare.
- For a thicker chili, simmer a bit longer or add additional cream cheese.
- Adjust the cayenne pepper to control the heat level to your preference or omit for a milder taste.
- This recipe is naturally low-carb and keto-friendly, suitable for diabetic diets.
