Low Carb Chili Recipes

LOW CARB KETO CHILI RECIPE (CROCK POT OR INSTANT POT)

Steps:

• In a lightly oiled skillet over medium-high heat, cook the chopped onion for 5-7 minutes, until translucent (or increase the time to about 20 minutes if you like them caramelized). Add the garlic and cook for a minute or less, until fragrant.
• Add the ground beef. Cook for 8-10 minutes, breaking apart with a spatula, until browned.
• Transfer the ground beef mixture into a slow cooker. Add remaining ingredients, except bay leaf, and stir until combined. Place the bay leaf into the middle, if using.
• Cook for 6-8 hours on low or 3-4 hours on high. If you used a bay leaf, remove it before serving.
• Select the "Sauté" setting on the pressure cooker (this part is done without the lid). Add a little oil and the chopped onion and cook for 5-7 minutes, until translucent (or increase the time to about 20 minutes if you like them caramelized). Add the garlic and cook for a minute or less, until fragrant.
• Add the ground beef. Cook for 8-10 minutes, breaking apart with a spatula, until browned.
• Add remaining ingredients, except bay leaf, to the Instant Pot and stir until combined. (For the Instant Pot version, it is recommended to also add a cup of water or broth.) Place the bay leaf into the middle, if using.
• Close the lid. Press "Keep Warm/Cancel"to stop the saute cycle. Select the "Meat/Stew"setting (35 minutes) to start pressure cooking.
• Wait for the natural release if you can, or turn the valve to "vent"for quick release if you're short on time. If you used a bay leaf, remove it before serving.

KETO WHITE CHICKEN CHILI

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add oil and 2 tablespoons butter.
• Meanwhile, season chicken with chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook chicken in the skillet on 1 side for 5 minutes, resisting the urge to flip early. Turn and cook, turning occasionally to keep from burning, until no longer pink inside and juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes, depending on thickness. Transfer chicken to a plate to cool until safe to handle, about 10 minutes. Shred chicken using your fingers and set aside.
• Mix remaining 6 tablespoons butter, chicken broth, heavy cream, cream cheese, onion powder, cumin, and hot sauce together in a large, heavy pot. Season with salt and black pepper and bring to a simmer; cook until butter and cream cheese are melted, about 5 minutes.
• Add shredded chicken, Monterey Jack cheese, and green chiles to the chili in the pot. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes.
