Cheesy Low Carb Keto Chicken Enchilada Casserole
Equipment
- 9 x 13 baking dish
Ingredients
- 24 oz frozen cauliflower florets *we used the two 12 Oz steam-able bags. However this amount can be reduced
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 2 1/2 cups cooked chicken shredded (A Rotisserie chicken works great!)
- 8 oz Green Salsa Verde we used LaVictoria
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 8 oz Green Chiles optional
- 1 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro optional
Instructions
Prepare Chicken and Cauliflower Mixture
- Micro wave your 2 bags of cauliflower to cook and soften, add into a large bowl
- In a separate bowl you should have your 2 cups of shredded chicken. (we used 4 chicken breast)
- Combine your cooked cauliflower and shredded chicken together (use your fingers to mix well)
- Set aside your cauliflower and shredded chicken
PREPARE YOUR CREAM CHEESE MIXTURE
- Take your 8 oz of softened Cream Cheese and added it to a separate bowl
- Add 1/2 of cup of sour cream in with your cream cheese
- Mix your softened cream cheese and sour cream together until it is smooth.
- Add 1 cup of green salsa into your cream cheese and sour cream mixture and stir.
- Combine your chicken and cauliflower mixture into your cream cheese and sour cream and combine well using a spoon.
- Add one small can of Hatch Green Chiles into your mixture for a real southwest flare.
- Add fresh chopped cilantro to taste (this is optionaand stir into your mixture.
Final Assembly and Cooking
- PREHEAT YOUR OVEN AT 375 DEGREES
- Take a 9×13 Oven Proof dish and grease the bottom of your dish (we used a 9×13 because it allows us to spread the dish out for FASTER Cooking!)
- Spread half of your casserole into your dish and spread out evenly
- Spread 1 cup of Monterey Jack cheese over this layer of the casserole.
- Spread the remainder of the casserole mixture on top of the Monterey Jack cheese layer (spread evenly)
- Spread the remainder of your cheese over the top layer
- Bake in your preheated 375 degree over for 20-25 minutes or until your cheese is a golden brown.

We are glad you both enjoyed the recipe. Hopefully the Biscuits and Gravy work well for you. We try and really explain things in our videos. We know a YouTuber named the “T-man” and he was doing Keto but didn’t really cook much…so when we make videos I alway say “are we explaining this enough so that the T-man could make this recipe.” I’m sure the Biscuits and gravy will turn out fine. Thanks for sharing.
Found you guys on YouTube. Your recipes look so good! Making the Chicken Enchilada Casserole today. I love the Wednesday conversations and the bit of historical information you share about each recipe. Congratulations on you Keto Success! Much happiness to you both and to your family.
Thanks Allen we appreciate your support. Welcome to our keto family. Sarah loves learning new information so those she enjoys learning and sharing the information.
