How to Make Cozy Low Carb White Chicken Enchiladas

Prepare the cooked chicken using your preferred method.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9×13 pan.
Shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces in a bowl.
Mix 3/4 cup of shredded cheese, garlic powder, and cream cheese with the chicken until combined.
In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat, stir in almond flour and taco seasoning for 1 minute. Add chicken broth and whisk until smooth. Stir in 1/2 cup cheese until thick and bubbly.
Stir in sour cream and green chilies. Remove from heat.
Fill each tortilla with the chicken mixture, roll up, and place seam-side down in the pan.
Pour sauce over the enchiladas and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
Bake for 22 minutes, then broil for an additional 3 minutes until golden. Enjoy!

Delicious Variations to Try

Zesty Green Salsa: For an extra kick, drizzle zesty green salsa over the top before baking, infusing the dish with vibrant flavors.
Vegetable Boost: Add sautéed spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms to the chicken mixture for a rich, textured experience.
Spicy Touch: Use Pepper Jack cheese and add jalapeños to the filling for an extra spicy delight.
Creamy Avocado: Top your enchiladas with sliced avocado and fresh cilantro before serving for a creamy, refreshing finish.

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

Make-Ahead Convenience: Prepare the filling and assemble the enchiladas a day before. Keep them covered in the fridge and simply bake when you’re ready to serve.
Ingredient Swaps: If you don’t have almond flour, you can substitute it with coconut flour. Just remember to use less of it, as coconut flour is more absorbent.
Leftover Love: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days for a quick lunch or dinner option.
Freezing for Later: These enchiladas freeze beautifully! Wrap them tightly in foil after baking, and they’ll be ready for a cozy meal whenever you need it.
