Low Carb Chicken Jalapeno Chili
This chicken chili is everything you want in a good cup of chili - thick, creamy, meaty, and plenty of melted cheese to go on top! Fresh jalapeno and a sprinkle of cayenne pepper gives a slow, warming burn as you eat it, but the sweet bell peppers mixed in keep it palatable. Enjoy this for your lunch or dinner during cold weather or on one of those days you want to cozy up with a blanket and a movie!

Recipe Steps
steps 8
40 min
Step 1
Prepare the red and green bell peppers, as well as the jalapeno, by deseeding and chopping them. You can leave the jalapeno in larger pieces if you’re concerned about biting into one while eating later.Step 2
Remove any unwanted fat from the chicken breast. Then, chop the chicken into very small pieces for easy eating. In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Place the chicken in the pot and let it cook until the exterior of the chicken is cooked through.Step 3
Toss in the bell peppers and jalapeno. Stir the ingredients together with the oil. Cover the pot, and let the ingredients cooked for 3-4 minutes to tenderize.Step 4
Next, stir in the tomato paste. Once the ingredients are coated in the tomato paste, stir in the chicken broth.Step 5
Stir in the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, cumin, and paprika. Cover the pot, and bring the chili to a boil. Then, reduce the heat to a simmer and allow the chili to simmer for about 10 minutes to reduce slightly.Step 6
Once reduced, stir in the cauliflower rice. To thicken the chili, remove a ½-cup of liquid from the pot. Whisk the sour cream into this liquid until you see a smooth liquid.Step 7
Stir the thickened liquid back into the chili. Let the chili simmer, uncovered, on a very low heat for an additional 10 minutes.Step 8
This chili makes 3 cups by volume. For serving, top off each cup of chili with a ⅛-cup of shredded cheddar cheese. The melted cheese makes a perfectly thick chili consistency!

Tastes great and easy! Also added mushrooms. Would solve the recipe next time for leftovers.

Excellent. I cannot even believe it is healthy and so delish! I will make it more often. Especially during cold rainy days.

This is so yummy! It cleans out your sinuses and warms you to your toes… I did add a few mushrooms and 1 oz cream cheese which gave it a slightly creamy touch and made it more hearty with the added mushrooms. A new fave!

Very Tasty! I did not add sour cream and cheese until serving so we could apportion any sour cream individually. I also used 1.25 lbs of ground turkey instead of chicken breast…Sooooo good!

This is delish!!!!! I only used half the jalapeño asked for bc the rest of the family can only handle a little spice, but if you like it spicy, use it all!! I love cumin so I added more. If you follow the recipe for the meat and peppers by “grams” AND simmer as called for, then it makes exactly 3 cups. My family does not like cauliflower, but it takes on the flavor of the broth and just adds more texture to the soup so they loved it! The cayenne is literally just a “sprinkle” but just adds that little oomph!! Yummy!!!!

I doubled the recipe and used rabbit meat instead of chicken. It was a hit with everyone in my family this is definitely a keeper!

It's ok. I think the nutrition info is way off. I measured out 2 cups of the finished soup and there's still about 3 or 4 cups left.
FabulousKetone567985 2 years ago
Hmmm…. It came out exactly 3 cups for me of yummy delicious?? Did you Double it somehow?

I followed this recipe to the letter until I realized I added whole can of tomato paste! I was already committed so I kept going. I added about 1/4 cup of sour cream and kept it moving. I don’t know how it was supposed to taste, but it was awesome!

I once made a recipe with bacon and used a pound instead of a quarter pound. Man! It was yummy! LOL.

This is my favorite recipe so far. It is super delicious. I used a chicken thigh instead of breast and only had a green bell pepper. I will definitely make this again.

Quite Tasty! The flavors blend beautifully. Instead of cayenne and jalapeno, I used an oz or 2 frozen green chili. It didn't take long and was an easy recipe. But, it is higher in carbs because of the bell peppers (especially the red one-but the taste was great because of it!) I used keto cauliflower rice (vacuum sealed) from Costco

That was delicious. Even the picky eater in my house liked it!

Oh my goodness - the only negative thing about this is that I want to eat the whole recipe’s worth!! Absolutely delicious, thank you.
