  • Author: Madilyn

Ingredients

10 low-carb tortillas (or homemade keto tortillas)

2 cups cooked shredded chicken (≈ 2 large chicken breasts, pre-cooked)

2 ½ cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese

3 tablespoons butter

8 ounces cream cheese

½ cup heavy cream

¾ cup chicken broth

24-ounce cans diced green chilies, drained

Sour cream, for serving

Fresh cilantro, for garnish


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven & Prepare Chicken
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Shred cooked chicken or use rotisserie chicken. Set aside.
  2. Make Cream Sauce
    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, cream cheese, heavy cream, 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, diced green chilies, and chicken broth. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  3. Assemble Enchiladas
    In a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish, place 2–3 tablespoons shredded chicken and a small handful of cheese on each tortilla. Roll each tortilla and place seam-side down in the dish. Repeat until all tortillas are filled.
  4. Add Sauce & Cheese
    Pour cream sauce evenly over enchiladas. Sprinkle remaining ½ cup cheese on top.
  5. Bake & Broil
    Bake for 22 minutes, until heated through and cheese is melted. Optional: broil for 3 minutes to brown the cheese.
  6. Garnish & Serve
    Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and top with a dollop of sour cream. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Make Ahead: Enchiladas can be assembled a day ahead and refrigerated until ready to bake.
  • Cheese Variations: Monterey Jack can be swapped with cheddar or mozzarella if desired.
  • Spice Level: Adjust diced green chilies based on preferred heat.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
