- 1 Tablespoon Cumin

- 7 ounces Diced green chilis
- 12 ounces Frozen cauliflower rice
- 2 Cups Chicken broth
- ½ Cup Heavy Cream
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum

- Shredded cheddar, avocado, cilantro, sour cream for serving
Instructions
Crockpot White Chicken Chili
- Add the diced onion, garlic, chicken, cumin, oregano, green chilis, cauliflower rice, and chicken broth to the crockpot (omit the oil). Let cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours.
- Add in the heavy cream and the xanthan gum. Let cook for 10 more minutes to thicken. Serve in bowls with toppings.
Stovetop White Chicken Chili
- In a heavy bottom pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add in the onions and sweat for 5-8 minutes. Add in the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
- Turn up the heat to medium-hi and add in the diced chicken and sauté until browned on all sides.
- Add in the cumin, oregano, chilis, cauliflower rice, and broth. Reduce to low and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Add in the heavy cream and xanthan gum, bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer and let thicken for 5 minutes.
- Serve in bowls with toppings.
Notes
- To freeze: I added all of the ingredients (except cream and xanthan gum) to a gallon size freezer bag and stuck it in the freezer. When I was ready to cook it, I removed it from the freezer the day before to let it thaw. Then I cooked it in the crockpot for 4 hours on high. I then added in the cream and the xanthan gum and let it cook for about 10 minutes more to thicken up.
