Main Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 3 ounces cream cheese
- 1 4-ounce can green chilis
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 5 cups shredded chicken
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (for topping)
Instructions
- Sauté aromatics: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter, then add minced garlic and chopped jalapeno. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Make creamy sauce: Add unsweetened almond milk, heavy cream, cream cheese, undrained green chilis, chili powder, cumin, onion powder, and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese to the skillet. Whisk the mixture continuously until it becomes smooth and the cheese has completely melted.
- Add chicken and simmer: Stir in the shredded chicken to coat it evenly with the sauce. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese. Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer gently for 10 minutes to blend flavors and heat through.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions, additional jalapeno slices, or avocado as desired. Serve warm.
Notes
- For extra heat, retain jalapeno seeds or add more jalapenos.
- Use rotisserie or leftover chicken for quick preparation.
- To keep it dairy-free, substitute cream cheese and cheddar with vegan cheese alternatives.
- Serve with cauliflower rice or keto-friendly sides to keep it low carb.
