Crockpot Chicken Chili
All of the flavors in this thick and creamy soup are as familiar as your favorite song. Each note brings back a happy memory. That’s why I think soup is one of the best types of comfort food you can make. Every spoonful overflows with a savory delight.
Make Your Own Ranch Seasoning
The ranch seasoning packet you can buy at the store has a tiny bit of modified corn starch in it. If you want to be strict with your low-carb diet, you can make your own ranch seasoning mix. This recipe from The Pioneer Woman is perfect!
There are lots of ways that you can change it to be perfect for your tastebuds (or your family’s). Keep reading and discover how to make this simple but impressive dish.
White Chicken Chili Crock Pot
I love creating “dump and cook” crock pot recipes – and this is definitely as easy as just putting all the ingredients in the slow cooker and tapping the “cook” button.
As it cooks on low all day, your kitchen and home will be filled with the mouthwatering aromas of chicken, and salty ranch seasoning.
By the way, if you haven’t tried to make a chili with ranch seasoning before, you have to now! There is nothing quite like it.
Keto White Chicken Chili
This chili is fantastic for meal prep. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you are ready to eat it, the cream cheese broth might solidify a bit.
If that happens, just warm it up on the stove or in your microwave. It will melt and mix back in with the rest of the ingredients.
Another time-saving trick that I love to do with this chili is to shred up and use rotisserie chicken. In fact, you can make this recipe on the stove as a last-minute recipe that can cook in less than 30 minutes!
Just put everything in a dutch oven or large pot, add some shredded rotisserie chicken, and let it heat up to a low boil. Dinner is ready!
I also like to bake a huge batch of bacon in the oven and store it in the refrigerator all week. The crumbled bacon on top is perfect in this chili! You can also use cooked bacon for keto chicken bacon ranch pizza or keto bacon egg and cheese chaffles.

If you follow my recipe exactly, it’s a mild-tasting soup that is the perfect family-friendly dinner. In fact, I like to add some garlic cheddar biscuits on the side. They are low in carbs and my kids love them too!
It’s really easy to give this soup a little kick! Just add some sliced jalapenos or even diced habanero peppers to it.
Low-Carb White Chicken Chili
You might notice that I used a leafy green veggie in this chili too. That’s kale. When you allow the kale to wilt and cook with the rest of the ingredients, it doesn’t have as bitter of a taste.
Kale is known as a superfood because it has so many antioxidants and is a fantastic source of iron. Even if you don’t like the taste of kale, use it in this recipe – you hardly taste it.
You could also replace the kale with baby spinach. It has a sweeter taste and is really good for you too.
