Keto Chicken Enchilada Casserole

Keto chicken enchilada casserole combines the flavors of the classic dish without the tortilla shells. And really, with all the flavors from the sauce, chilies, and spices, you really won’t even miss the shells.

This Mexican keto casserole uses only 5 ingredients to create a cheesy chicken enchilada dish. You can also prep and cook it in less than 20 minutes from start to finish, which means you can make this on a busy weeknight or when you want a quick meal.

For added flavor, you can top it with your favorite keto-friendly toppings. If you love crunch, you can use shredded lettuce. Salsa is also a great compliment to the casserole that you are sure to enjoy.

Keto Chicken Enchilada Casserole Ingredients:

You only need five, easy to find ingredients to make this spicy casserole. Here’s what you’ll need to have on hand.

• Cooked chicken - This is a great what-to-do-with-leftover-chicken recipe. You’ll need about 3 breasts, either cubed or shredded. If you don’t have leftovers, you can use rotisserie, bake your own, or your preferred cooking method.
• Green chilies - I used the ones in the can. You can find them on the taco aisle at the grocery store.
• Keto-friendly red enchilada sauce - I used canned enchilada sauce instead of making my own, for now.  (I’ll be adding one in the near future so keep an eye out for it!) My favorite keto-friendly brand is Rosarita, but you can use a different brand with the same great results.
• Shredded cheese - I find shredding my own cheese helps it melt better. I used Colby Jack for this recipe, but cheddar can also work well.
• Taco seasoning - You can use your favorite brand or combination of taco seasonings. 

Instructions:

Step 1. Prep the casserole. Start by preheating the oven to 375 degrees. As it heats, mix all the ingredients, except for 1 cup of cheese, in a large mixing bowl. 

Step 2. Fill the pan. Spread the mixture into an 8x8 baking dish and top with the remaining cup of cheese.

Step 3. Bake and serve. Bake the casserole uncovered for 15 minutes or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly. Top with your favorite keto-friendly toppings and serve hot from the oven.

Suggested Toppings 

Some people feel keto can be limiting, but there is really no shortage of different toppings you can add to this casserole. Some of my favorites are:

• shredded lettuce
• chopped tomatoes
• salsa
• green onions 
• sour cream

You could also add more cheese, jalapenos, or more keto-friendly enchilada sauce.
