INGREDIENT NOTES:

GREEN CHILIES:

  • It provides the flavor and spicy taste with a low-carb count. You can replace it with fresh poblano peppers, which work well for a keto diet.

CHICKEN BROTH:

  • We always use unsweetened & low-sodium versions to remain on a keto diet. We can utilize bone broth instead for a low-carb option.

SOUR CREAM:

  • It gives a tangy flavor and helps to improve the creamy taste. You can use the high-fat crème fraîche and mascarpone cheese in place of it.

CHICKEN:

  • Use the chicken breast to prepare this recipe. Chicken thighs are a great alternative. It provides good fat content and adds more taste.

HEAVY CREAM:

  • It delivers a creamy taste and makes the chowder thicken without increasing carb count. Never use the milk as a replacement. You can utilize the sugar-free coconut cream as a keto non-dairy choice.

XANTHAN GUM:

  • It makes the thick consistency of chowder if we use it in small quantities, and it is used instead of cornstarch or flour. Replace it with psyllium husk powder as a substitution.

CREAM CHEESE:

  • It gives a structure with a creamy and smooth taste. Utilize high-fat cheese, which is good for a keto diet. You can use ricotta or mascarpone in place of it to maintain a low-carb version.
