  • Total Time: 60 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 jalapeno, seeds and ribs removed, finely chopped
  • 2 anaheim peppers, seeds and ribs removed, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons oregano
  • 2 teaspoons coriander
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (10 oz) can Rotel diced tomatoes, with juice
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon Better Than Bouillon, chicken flavor
  • 4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless, cut into 1” cubes
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened and cut into cubes
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Toppings: Keto tortilla chips, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, fresh cilantro, sliced jalapeno

Instructions

  1. Saute veggies. Heat oil in a large heavy-bottom pan. Add onions, jalapeno, anaheim peppers, and bell pepper. Cook until onions soften, about 8 minutes. Add garlic, cumin, chili powder, oregano, and coriander. Saute until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  2. Simmer. Add diced tomatoes, chicken broth, Better Than Bouillon, cream cheese, salt, black pepper, and chicken. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 35-40 minutes. The chili is done when chicken reaches 145°F and liquid reduces to your liking.
  3. Finishing touches. Stir in lime juice and cilantro. Adjust seasoning if needed. Serve in bowls and top with cheese, avocado, and extra cilantro.

Notes

  • Adjust jalapeno quantity based on spice preference.
  • Rotel tomatoes add mild heat; substitute with plain diced tomatoes if preferred.
  • Chicken can be shredded instead of cubed.
