White Chicken Chili

Make-Over Monday...

A couple of years ago I featured a Slow-cooker style White Chicken Chili. It was cream based and loaded with carbs and calories. I have been craving this chili, so today I decided to turn it KETO and we actually like it better than the original recipe.

Ingredients
1 lb chicken breast (cooked and save broth)
2 cups chicken broth
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 4.5oz can chopped green chiles
1 diced red pepper (green works, red adds color)
1/4 cup diced sweet white onion
4 tbsp butter
1 can evaporated milk
1 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp of cumin or cayenne (optional)
                                                                1 tablespoon diced jalapeno (optional for heat)
                                                                Salt and Pepper to taste
                                                                1 can white butter beans (drained and rinsed)
Instructions
If you would like to use your own homemade chicken stock and shredded chicken, you can find my recipe here... https://thepantrylife.blogspot.com/…/homemade-chicken-stock…, just remember to skim the fat off to keep it more Keto Friendly.
For this recipe::::: In a medium skillet melt butter , add minced garlic, onion, green chilies, red pepper and diced jalapeno, saute about 3 minutes or until soft and place into crockpot/slow cooker.
Shred fully cooked chicken with a fork and add to the sauteed veggies.
Add skimmed broth, milk and spices to crockpot/slowcooker and cook on low for 30 - 45 minutes. Add beans and simmer for about 10-15 minutes,
Serve with favorite toppings such as: pepper jack cheese, avocado slices, cilantro, sour cream.

Takes 45 minutes - 1 hour, makes 6 - 1 cup servings
