Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 4 oz can green chiles
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 4 oz cream cheese, cubed
  • 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a soup pot or Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until it begins to turn translucent, about 3-5 minutes. Add minced garlic and continue to cook until the garlic starts to brown and the onion is fully translucent.
  2. Add Spices: Stir in oregano, cumin, salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Sauté the spice mixture for about 1 minute to release their flavors.
  3. Add Liquids and Chiles: Pour in the chicken stock and add the canned green chiles. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  4. Simmer the Chili: Reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, leaving the pot uncovered. Stir occasionally, and simmer for approximately 25 minutes or until the liquid has reduced by at least one-third, intensifying the flavors.
  5. Add Dairy and Chicken: Reduce heat to medium. Add the heavy whipping cream, cubed cream cheese, and shredded rotisserie chicken. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the cream cheese melts fully and the chili is heated through.
  6. Serve: Remove from heat and serve hot. Optionally, garnish with shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, or fresh cilantro as desired.

Notes

  • You can use a white or yellow onion to maintain the authentic white color of the chili, but red onion adds a preferred depth of flavor.
  • To ensure the cream cheese melts smoothly, cut it into small cubes before adding or stir continuously while it melts to break it up.
  • This chili is naturally gluten-free and suitable for a ketogenic or low-carb diet.
  • Adjust the cayenne pepper to your preferred spice level or omit it for a milder chili.
  • Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and also freeze well for meal prep.
