Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, sour cream, cream cheese, green chilies, chopped onion, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Prepare the White Sauce:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and chicken broth over medium heat.
- Whisk until the mixture is warm and begins to simmer.
- Gradually add the shredded Monterey Jack cheese, whisking continuously until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Assemble the Enchiladas:
- Lightly grease a baking dish (9×13 inches works well).
- Spread a thin layer of the white sauce on the bottom of the baking dish.
- Place a generous portion of the chicken filling in the center of each tortilla, then roll them up and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Once all tortillas are in the dish, pour the remaining white sauce evenly over the top.
- Bake:
- Sprinkle additional shredded cheese on top, if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the tortillas are slightly crispy.
- Serve:
- Let the enchiladas cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro, sliced jalapeños, or avocado slices if desired.
Tips:
- Tortillas: For a truly low-carb experience, you can make your own keto tortillas or buy pre-made ones that fit your dietary needs.
- Variations: Feel free to add other low-carb veggies like spinach or mushrooms to the filling if you like.
