Keto White Chicken Chili
"You don’t need beans to make this tasty white chicken chili. A low-carb take on a popular Mexican dish, this chili contains only low-carb ingredients but tons of flavor to make it taste like the real thing. And at only 358 calories per serving, you definitely won’t worry about going overboard with this easy-to-make chili dish. You can also prepare this chicken chili in a slow cooker. Simply add all the ingredients, except for the heavy cream, to the slow cooker and cook for up to 4 hours on low."
NotesWhen you’ve shredded the chicken, return it to the slow cooker and then add the heavy cream. If you want to create a thicker chili, consider adding a bit of xanthan gum to it. And if you want to use a bean substitute, consider adding chopped sausage or mushrooms. Keep in mind that this will change its nutritional profile.
