How To Make This Carnivore Chicken Chili

Add the chicken pieces, chicken broth, and optional spices and herbs.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer uncovered for about 45 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Once done, use a slotted spoon to remove the chicken from the pot and shred it with two forks.

Carnivore Chicken Chili (Gluten-Free)
Warm up your taste buds with this hearty Carnivore Chicken Chili! Packed with tender chicken and flavor, it’s the perfect comforting meal for anyone following a carnivore or low-carb lifestyle.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- 2 ¼ pounds of boneless raw chicken breasts (about 3) cut into 2-inch pieces
- 32 ounces of chicken broth
- 1 ½ teaspoons of salt
- 1 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
- ½ teaspoon of garlic powder (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon of cayenne pepper (optional)
- 2 teaspoons of dried oregano (optional)
- 8 ounces of full-fat cream cheese, cut into small cubes
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 2 cups of shredded Mexican blend cheese
Instructions
- In a stockpot or 6-quart Dutch oven, melt the butter and add the sliced chicken, dry spices, herbs if adding, and chicken broth to the pot. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to a medium-low simmer uncovered for about 45 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked.
- Once the chicken is cooked remove the chicken pieces using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a bowl. Using two forks shred the chicken and then return to the pot.
- Raise the temperature to medium heat and stir in the heavy cream and the softened cream cheese cubes into the pot. Stir using a wooden spoon until it melts completely into the chicken chili.
- Add the shredded cheese and stir until fully incorporated.
- Serve the white carnivore chili hot.
- Store the leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. I do not recommend freezing as it may separate once it thaws.
Notes
Crockpot Instructions
- To cook in a crockpot add the chopped raw chicken breasts, chicken broth, heavy cream, spices, into a slow cooker.
- Cook on high for 3 hours or low for 5-6 hours until the chicken has fully cooked. Then add the softened cream cheese and the shredded Mexican cheese blend and give it a good stir until the cheeses have fully melted and incorporated into the chili.
- When making in a crockpot there is no need to remove the chicken and shred it. The chicken will fall apart naturally as it cooks.
