Keto Chicken Enchiladas with Green Chile Sauce

Keto Recipes > Keto Dinner Recipes

Chicken enchiladas made with a green chile sauce is one of my favorite dinners.  Trying to recreate enchiladas with low-carb tortillas can be a pain, especially if you try and make them yourself.  With these, we’ve used softened cabbage leaves to roll up the filling.  It’s an easy and nutritious option!

The enchiladas are stuffed with shredded chicken, onions, and shredded cheese.  They’re dolloped with a sauce made from chicken broth, sour cream, and green chilis.  The result is flavorful, creamy, and delicious!
