Keto White Chicken Enchiladas

These keto white chicken enchiladas are made with egg wraps which makes them incredibly delicious and incredibly low carb!

I love taking traditional comfort food dishes and making them low carb, and these keto white chicken enchiladas are both low carb and amazingly delicious! We combine chicken, cheese, and an awesome flavorful sauce to make these enchiladas. The addition of low carb eggwraps creates a delicious, low carb and gluten free dish that is sure to please!

Let’s talk about our chicken and cheese!

You have some great options for the kind of chicken and cheese you use to make your enchiladas! I like to buy a whole chicken, then roast or boil it and use the meat for all kinds of dishes. That’s what I used for this dish. I used half white meat and half dark meat. Alternately, you can use cooked chicken breasts if you want all white meat or chicken thighs if you want all dark meat. A quick, easy, and delicious option is to use a rotisserie chicken. For the cheese, I used Monterey jack cheese, but you can use any good melting cheese to make your enchiladas. Some great choices include cheddar, colby jack, mozzarella, and pepper jack. I highly recommend you buy a block of cheese and shred it yourself. It melts the best and you can be assured there are no unwanted added ingredients.

What kind of egg wraps do you use to make these keto white chicken enchiladas?

If you haven’t tried egg wraps, you’re in for a real treat! There are different brands of egg wraps, and they contain different ingredients. I use the egg wraps from the egglife brand. They have an original egg wrap and flavored egg wraps. The original combines egg whites, xanthan gum, salt, natural flavors, and a natural preservative. This is what I typically use to make dishes. These wraps contain zero carbs, zero fat, and 5 grams of protein per wrap. They’re also a low calorie option with each wrap coming in at just 25 calories. Egglife also makes flavored egg wraps which you can use if you’d prefer. I’ve seen roasted garlic herb, southwest style, and everything bagel egg wraps, but I’m guessing they’ll add even more flavors in the future. I also use these egg wraps to make an incredibly delicious keto lasagna!

How do I make the sauce for these keto white chicken enchiladas?

The sauce for these enchiladas comes together quickly and easily, but it’s amazingly creamy and flavorful. We start by adding chicken broth, sour cream, cream cheese, butter, green chiles, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to a medium saucepan. I recommend using softened cream cheese and cutting it into cubes so it will melt easier. For your green chiles, you can use mild or hot, depending on how spicy you’d like your dish. You can also add some hot sauce if you’d like to add even more heat to your sauce. You’ll want to cook this mixture, stirring or whisking occasionally, until the cream cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth. To thicken our sauce, we sprinkle a little xanthan gum over the sauce and then whisk it in. Cooking the sauce a couple more minutes will allow it to thicken nicely.

Helpful Hints:

*If you’d like to increase the heat in this dish, you can use hot green chilies or you can add some of your favorite hot sauce to the sauce.

*You can omit the xanthan gum, just know your sauce won’t be quite as thick.
