Description

Low Carb White Chicken Enchiladas are creamy, cheesy, and made without traditional tortillas, making them a perfect keto-friendly comfort dinner. This recipe features shredded chicken mixed with a rich, spiced cream sauce, rolled in low-carb tortillas or thin zucchini slices, then baked to bubbly, golden perfection.

Ingredients

Chicken Filling

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Sauce

  • ½ cup cream cheese
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Assembly

  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 4 low-carb tortillas (or thin sliced zucchini)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect baking temperature by the time your enchiladas are assembled.
  2. Prepare the sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, heavy cream, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well blended to create a rich and flavorful sauce.
  3. Mix chicken with sauce: Stir half of the prepared sauce into the shredded chicken, making sure the chicken is evenly coated with the creamy spices for maximum flavor.
  4. Fill and roll tortillas or zucchini slices: Spoon the chicken mixture onto each low-carb tortilla or zucchini slice and roll them up tightly to form enchiladas, securing the filling inside.
  5. Arrange in baking dish: Place each rolled enchilada seam-side down in a greased baking dish to prevent them from unrolling while baking.
  6. Add remaining sauce and cheese: Pour the leftover sauce evenly over the enchiladas and then sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese on top for a cheesy crust.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese has melted and turned golden brown, indicating the enchiladas are cooked through and ready to serve.

Notes

  • Add green chilies to the sauce or chicken mixture for an extra kick of flavor and heat.
  • Use cauliflower tortillas as an alternative grain-free option to keep the dish low carb and gluten free.
