Low Carb White Chicken Enchiladas

Posted on August 9, 2025
Here’s a Low-Carb White Chicken Enchiladas recipe that’s creamy, cheesy, and satisfying without the heavy carbs — we’ll swap traditional tortillas with low-carb options.


Low-Carb White Chicken Enchiladas

Ingredients (Serves 4)

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese (divided)

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional for topping)

  • 4–6 low-carb tortillas (or large lettuce leaves or egg wraps)

  • 1 cup sour cream

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 1/2 cup chicken broth

  • 1 tbsp butter

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1/4 cup chopped green chilies (canned or fresh roasted)

  • 1 tsp cumin powder

  • 1/2 tsp paprika

  • Salt & pepper to taste

  • Fresh cilantro for garnish


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

  2. Prepare filling:

    • In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.

  3. Make white sauce:

    • In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant.

    • Stir in chicken broth and green chilies, then bring to a gentle simmer.

    • Reduce heat to low, add heavy cream and sour cream, whisking until smooth.

    • Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.

  4. Assemble enchiladas:

    • Lay out each low-carb tortilla, add chicken mixture, roll up, and place seam-side down in the baking dish.

    • Pour the white sauce evenly over the top.

    • Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and cheddar cheese.

  5. Bake:

    • Bake for 20–25 minutes, until bubbly and golden on top.

  6. Serve:

    • Garnish with fresh cilantro and, if desired, a dollop of sour cream.
