Low Carb Keto White Chicken Enchiladas 🍗

Ingredients:

🐓 3 large chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
🧅 1 small onion (diced)
🧄 2 cloves garlic (minced)
🌿 1 cup sour cream (full-fat)
🧀 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
🧀 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
🌱 1/2 cup chicken broth (low sodium)
🥒 1 can (4 oz) green chilies (diced)
🌮 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
🌿 1 tsp ground cumin
🧂 Salt and pepper (to taste)
🧴 2 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)
🥄 2 tbsp butter
🫛 6-8 low carb tortillas (or keto-friendly tortillas)
🧀 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded for topping)

Directions:

Cook the chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and cumin. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side until golden and fully cooked through. Remove from heat, let rest for 5 minutes, then shred the chicken using two forks.
Prepare the filling: In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté diced onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant. Stir in green chilies, sour cream, and chicken broth. Add shredded chicken and mix until combined. Remove from heat and set aside.
Assemble the enchiladas: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lay each tortilla flat and spoon the chicken mixture in the center. Sprinkle with a little shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese, then roll the tortilla tightly around the filling. Place the rolled enchiladas seam-side down in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
Top with sauce: Pour any remaining chicken mixture over the enchiladas, then top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the enchiladas are golden on top.
Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with a side of guacamole or a simple salad for a complete meal.
