Ingredients

For the Filling:

2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or leftover grilled chicken)

4 oz cream cheese, softened

1 ½ cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)

1 (4 oz) can mild green chiles, drained

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Sauce:

1 cup sour cream (full-fat preferred)

1 cup green enchilada sauce (such as Hatch brand)

For Assembly:

6 low-carb tortillas (Mission Carb Balance or similar)

½ cup shredded cheese (for topping)

Fresh cilantro, diced avocado, or green onions (optional, for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 7×11-inch baking dish.

  2. Prepare the Filling:
    In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream cheese, 1 cup of shredded cheese, and green chiles. Season lightly with salt and pepper and stir until creamy and well mixed.

  3. Make the Sauce:
    In a separate bowl, whisk together sour cream and green enchilada sauce until smooth and creamy.

  4. Layer the Dish:
    Spoon about ½ cup of the sauce onto the bottom of the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly to coat.

  5. Assemble the Enchiladas:
    Place a few tablespoons of the chicken filling in the center of each tortilla. Roll tightly and place seam side down in the dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

  6. Add Sauce and Cheese:
    Pour the remaining sour cream sauce evenly over the enchiladas, then sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of cheese on top.

  7. Bake:
    Bake uncovered for 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, golden, and bubbling.

  8. Garnish and Serve:
    Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro, avocado slices, or green onions for extra flavor and freshness.

Notes

  • To make this extra creamy, add 2 tablespoons of heavy cream to the sauce mixture.
  • For more heat, use spicy green chiles or a few dashes of hot sauce.
  • You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream if preferred.
