Stovetop instructions

  • Melt the butter in a large stockpot or dutch oven. Add the onions and cook for 3-5 minutes or until tender.

  • Add cooked onions, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.  Simmer for as long as possible, up to 45 minutes. Stir often. 
  • Serve chili with toppings of your choice, such as shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, jalapeños, or corn chips.

CrockPot instructions

  • Melt the butter in a large stockpot or dutch oven. Add the onions and cook for 3-5 minutes or until tender.
  • Add the almond flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly add the chicken broth, whisking broth to keep it from getting lumpy. 
  • Pour the broth mixture into the CrockPot and add all remaining ingredients except for heavy cream. Mix well.

  • Serve chili with toppings of your choice, such as shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, jalapeños, or corn chips.

Notes

For the chicken:
  • If using canned chicken, use two large cans, drained and shredded with a fork.
  • If using rotisserie chicken, use two heaping cups of shredded chicken.
  • If using raw chicken breasts or thighs, start with 1-1½ pounds of chicken, cook to 165ºF using your desired method, then shred and measure two heaping cups.
