How do you make One Pan Green Chili Chicken?
This recipe is a very simple one pan meal that is great for busy nights! Begin by heating a 12 inch skillet over medium heat.
Add butter, minced garlic, chopped jalapeño and sauté for 30 seconds. Add almond milk, heavy cream, cream cheese, canned chilies, spices and cheddar cheese. Next, whisk the mixture until the cheese has melted a nice rich cheese sauce has formed.
Stir in cooked shredded chicken until it is evenly covered with the cheese sauce. Top with more shredded cheese and place a lid on the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer 10 minutes or until the cheese has completely melted.
What can I serve with Green Chili Chicken?
There are many great side dish options! Serve with a salad filled with cheddar, bacon, ranch and avocado for a refreshing side (maybe try this one with asparagus).
Cauliflower rice is a keto friendly option, as well as my favorite Crispy Zucchini Fries. These Bacon-Wrapped Green Beans would be a great pairing as well!
If you’re looking for a good low-carb bread option, try these Keto Bacon Cheddar Chive Biscuits,this keto twist on the Red Lobster copycat biscuits, or these Rosemary Garlic Keto Dinner Rolls!
Alternatively, there are many low carb wraps on the market that contain 3-5 net carbs each (or you could make these Zucchini Tortillas that only have about one net carb each!). This Green Chili Chicken would make the perfect burrito or quesadilla filling!

Is this good for meal prepping?
Yes, this Keto Green Chili Chicken would be a great option for meal prep! Instead of making this ahead of time and freezing, it’s best to prepare this in steps so that it comes together even quicker when you’re ready to eat.
