Instructions:
- Cook the Chicken:
- Prepare the chicken using your preferred method (boiling, baking, or using rotisserie chicken). Once cooked, shred it into bite-sized pieces.
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare Chicken and Cheese Mixture:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, 3/4 cup of shredded Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack cheese, garlic powder, and cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
- Prepare the Sauce:
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the almond flour and taco seasoning, and cook for about 1 minute.
- Gradually add 2 cups of chicken broth while whisking continuously until the mixture becomes smooth.
- Add Cheese to the Sauce:
- Stir in 1/2 cup of shredded cheese and heat the sauce over medium heat until it thickens and becomes bubbly.
- Incorporate Sour Cream and Chilies:
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the sour cream and diced green chilies. Do not bring the mixture to a boil.
- Assemble the Enchiladas:
- Take each low-carb tortilla and place a portion of the chicken and cheese mixture onto it. Roll it up and place it in the greased baking dish, seam side down.
- Pour Sauce and Add Cheese:
- Pour the prepared sauce over the enchiladas, ensuring they are well coated. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 22 minutes, or until the enchiladas are heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Broil to Brown the Cheese:
- After baking, switch to the high broil setting and broil for about 3 minutes to brown the cheese on top. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
- Serve:
- Remove the enchiladas from the oven, let them cool for a few minutes, and then serve. Enjoy your Low Carb Keto White Chicken Enchiladas!
