Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons Avocado Oil
  • 1/2 cups Diced Onion
  • 4 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 4 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs, Cut Into 1-inch Pieces
  • 1 Tablespoon Cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 7 ounces, weight Diced Green Chilis
  • 12 ounces, weight Frozen Cauliflower Rice
  • 2 cups Chicken Broth
  • 1/2 cups Heavy Cream
  • 1 teaspoon Xanthan Gum
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste
  • Shredded Cheddar, Avocado , Cilantro, Sour Cream For Serving

Method

  • 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 heavy cream and xanthan gum. Let cook for 10 more minutes to thicken. Serve in bowls with toppings.
  • For the stovetop:
  • In a heavy bottom pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add onions and sweat for 5-8 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  • Turn up the heat to medium-hi and add in the diced chicken and saute until browned on all sides. Add cumin, oregano, chilis, cauliflower rice, and broth. Reduce to low and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Add heavy cream and xanthan gum, bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer and let thicken for 5 minutes.
  • Serve in bowls with toppings.
  • Note: 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.
