A Casserole the entire family will love!

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. Yours macros will change.

I used Old El Paso – 0F / 4C / 0P per serving. 

Green Chilies

I just buy whatever can is on sale. 

Cheese

I used Lucerne reduced fat Mexican Cheese finely shredded. 90 cals 6F / 2C / 7P  per serving. 

Chips

I used 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!

    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!

    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!
