Low-Carb Instant Pot Chicken Chili – Keto Chicken Chili
When it comes to low-carb or keto diets, soups tend to be an easy go-to for at least one meal a day. As the weather starts to turn colder, I started going through my soup recipes. I was craving my Don’t Be a Chicken Chili but really wanted to come up with a low-carb version of it. Low-Carb Instant Pot Chicken Chili is low on carbs but high in fat and flavor with tender pieces of chicken given rich flavors from better than bouillon, garlic and onions, and lots of adobo seasoning. Plus with riced cauliflower, you don’t even miss the beans either.
This soup smelled so good as it was cooking my husband who doesn’t like chicken even ate this chicken chili. Topped with some pepper jack cheese and avocados made this soup one I will make over and over all season long.
Low-Carb Instant Pot Chicken Chili
Let’s talk about an easy recipe with this Low-Carb Instant Pot Chicken Chili. I literally make the entire recipe in my 6-quart Instant Pot making clean up equally as easy.
Begin with the chicken cut into pieces in the bottom of the Instant pot turned to saute with a tablespoon of butter. Then, cover the chicken with the Adobo seasoning and the Mexican Oregano plus salt. Top the chicken with diced onions and garlic along with another tablespoon of butter.
I use steamer bags of riced cauliflower for this recipe and steamed it for a minute or two before adding to the Instant Pot. Finally, add the can of green chilis to the pot. Stir completely to combine before adding the liquid. I dissolve two tablespoons of [amazon_textlink asin=’B00WN61K3U’ text=’chicken better than bouillon’ template=’ProductLink’ store=’farmwifedrink-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’2f33532c-bce1-4030-b488-909ebf2cb407′] in two cups of hot water. Once dissolved, pour over the soup ingredients. This give the low-carb white chicken chili its rich flavor. I add an additional one cup of water as well. Some water is lost in the cooking process.
Put the lid on the Instant Pot and turn to soup and cook for six minutes. It will take a hot minute or two to get to pressure, but you are in the home stretch. When the soup is done cooking, let it natural release for ten minutes. Now it is time to get the creamy action going in this soup to take the fat content up for the keto white chicken chili.
Add heavy whipping cream and the sour cream to the soup. Stir to completely combine. You are ready to build your bowls of soup now.
I love this soup with diced avocado and shredded pepper jack cheese. You could also add Colby-Jack cheese or Monterey Jack cheese. Just get the ingredients and add this to the regular rotation of your favorite low-carb soups.

Delicious but came out VERY runny/watery. Have you had that issue at all? I think next time I’ll double the chicken & cauliflower and see if that helps. Can’t wait to try some of your other recipes.
No, but I would recommend either reducing your liquids or even adding xanthan gum. Adding more chicken and cauliflower could work too!
