Chicken Enchilada Bowls

These keto-friendly chicken enchilada bowls are a tasty, quick, fun take on the classic chicken enchilada recipe that is super enjoyable without loading your plate with unwanted carbs.  

Make Chicken Enchilada Keto Bowls on a night when you are craving the fun flavors of chicken enchiladas, but you don’t want pesky cards, or to have to deal with the hassle of rolling up one tortilla after another. 

You don’t have to give up your favorite foods like pizza, lasagna, and enchiladas while on the keto diet.  You just have to adjust them.

Chicken Enchilada Keto Bowls are a great meal for when you want a healthier dinner option to the traditional chicken enchilada recipe, but don’t want to sacrifice that delicious chicken enchilada flavor.

This recipe will become a regular in you meal rotation, loaded with goodness and pure deliciousness. Another great meal rotation option is keto meatball skillet, zucchini lasagna, or chicken marsala. (If you’ve never made it yourself, you have to try it. It’s easier to make than you think.)

How Do I Make Chicken Enchiladas?

Whether you are making chicken keto enchilada bowls or traditional enchiladas, either way it is a relatively easy dish to make.  However, what is great about my chicken enchilada keto bowls is that you can skip the hassle of filling each tortilla one by one.

Basic Steps for Chicken Enchilada Bowls:

  • Combine enchilada sauce with other ingredients and cooked chicken in a pan.  Bring to a boil and simmer.
  • Shred chicken and return to pan to cook.
  • Cook Cauliflower rice.
  • Assemble bowls and add preferred toppings.

Chicken Enchilada Bowls are a hearty, family-friendly meal that is low carb with a lot of options for adding variation with toppings.

Chicken Enchilada Keto Bowls are a healthier and just as delicious option to your classic chicken enchilada dish.  Great ingredients are used like guacamole, salsa, green chiles, chicken and cauliflower rice.
