Low Carb Chicken Enchiladas

Today I am going to share with you a yummy and super easy low carb chicken enchiladas recipe. I love this dish, it is super easy to make and very filling. Great for meal prepping and freezing. I love Mexican food and wanted to find some low carb meal options for one of my old-time favorite meals.

Now with low carb tortillas, you can keep your Mexican dishes in your low carb meal plan! Besides being the best invention of all time, low carb tortillas are very tasty and come in many brands. I usually use the Mission Low Carb Tortillas but HEB and a few other brands are just as good. You can find them at Target, Walmart and your local grocery store. If you have not tried them I highly recommend them, they are great for tacos, pizzas, sandwich wraps and more! Ok on to the recipe, I hope you enjoy it!

The mixture is enough for 6 to 8 medium or 6 large enchiladas. Pour a small amount of sauce on the bottom of the pan or leave off. Personally, I do not like sauce on the bottom.
You can add in some avocado or guacamole. I put chiles inside and on top but that is optional as well.

Mediterranean Crockpot Chicken, a super easy dump and go recipe full of flavor!

Equipment

  • Crockpot
  • Slow cooker

Ingredients

  • 4 medium to large chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp crushed garlic
  • 2 tbsp capers
  • 1 red onion
  • 1 tbsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 lemon or 2 tbsp of lemon juice
  • 1 jar roasted red peppers
  • 1 can olives black or green
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1 packet dry Italian seasonings

Instructions

  • Season each chicken breast with black pepper, garlic powder and onion powder on both sides and place at the bottom of the crockpot.
  • Pour the juice of one lemon over chicken or a few squirts of lemon juice.
  • Open and pour the packet of Italian seasonings onto the top of the chicken. Make sure to get it on all of the chicken breasts.
  • Scoop the garlic and the capers on top of the chicken
  • Add in the additional ingredients of red peppers, onion, olives, and sundried tomatoes.
  • I would recommend adding a bit more lemon juice, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to the top of the ingredients and then cook on high for 4 hours. You can also cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.

Notes

Make sure to season the chicken well and pour the Italian seasoning packet onto the chicken. I poured mine on top after I added in all the ingredients and the chicken came out a bit bland.
Make sure you also add the lemon to the chicken and again on top of all ingredients. Very tasty but may need to add in pepper and garlic a bit here and there.
Season to taste!
