Ingredients and Substitutes:

Chicken: I am using Rotisserie Chicken to make this a super quick weeknight meal but you could easily swap with shredded chicken breast. I do suggest if you use plain shredded chicken to add some seasonings to it as rotisserie chicken is seasoned and adds flavor to the dish.

Enchilada Sauce: used Old El Paso – 0F / 4C / 0P per serving. 

Green Chilies

Cheese

Chips: Quest Nacho Cheese chips. You could use your favorite nacho cheese or taco flavored chip here but please note your macros with change. 

This Chicken Enchilada Casserole is packed with added protein using Quest chips and has all the flavors you love about enchiladas while still being low carb. One serving is only 14 grams of carbs!

Preheat the oven to 350 and prep your chicken by removing all the meat from the bone and placing it in a bowl. 

Step 2: combine casserole

Add enchilada sauce, green chilies, fire roasted tomatoes, corn, salt and pepper to the bowl with the chicken and mix together well.Spray a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick spray and add the chicken mixture to the dish.

Step 3: add toppings

Top with shredded cheese. Crunch up chips into bite size pieces and sprinkle over the top of the cheese.

Step 4: bake

Bake at 350 for 20 minutes until the cheese is melty and the sauce has started to thicken.

Top with cilantro, chopped green onions, sour cream, salsa, avocado, etc. and enjoy!

As always – it is best to weigh your final dish and divide by the number of servings listed for the most accurate serving size.

    I added black beans but otherwise followed the recipe! I paired it with Spanish rice.
    It was easy and delish. Loved that I could make it Gluten Free. Thanks!

    Tip- pull the chicken off when it’s warm and store it in refrigerator until ready to make. One pan, so simple and so so tasty. One of our favorites!

  3. 5 stars
    This recipe is delicious and so simple to make! I love how low carb this meal is, and leaves you with leftovers. 10/10 would recommend! I used chicken breast with fajita seasoning mix in place of the rotisserie chicken and it was delicious. Can’t wait to make this again!
