Shredded Chicken Enchilada Recipe – Casserole

Are you looking for a low carb chicken enchilada recipe or tasty casserole recipes?  Look no further, this Shredded Chicken Enchilada Recipe has all of the delights of flavor from shredded chicken, diced green chiles, corn, beans, fresh lime and of course enchilada sauce.  It’s extremely healthy, I added just a little bit of Mexican cheese along the top but to be honest it doesn’t even need it.  The chicken is marinated in a Southwest Spice Mix.  What an easy dish to make, and a bonus that it’s great for my husband who is trying to reach his diet goals of getting plenty of veggies and protein while keeping his a low fat and low carb intake.   This Shredded Chicken Enchilada Recipe is so simple, I skipped making my own enchilada sauce by buying a trusted enchilada sauce at the grocery store. If you do the same, be sure to pick up all natural enchilada sauce with no preservatives.

Mexican food is extremely popular in my family, we gravitate towards burritos and tacos early in the morning, late night after some drinks and everywhere in between. Enchiladas are another favorite of ours, the balanced ingredients keep the shredded chicken moist and flavorful.  I was at first hesitant to try the recipe with just a pinch of cheese, as growing up any enchilada I ate was both stuffed and topped with at least a few kinds of cheeses.  Removing the tortillas from a enchilada recipe was another thing that doubted, but with the right ingredients and flavoring it does just fine.  I still like to enjoy my tortillas every now and then, but great to know that traditional Mexican and Mexican influenced dishes are a go in my healthy household; we couldn’t live without them! Hope you’ll enjoy this easy casserole dish: Shredded Chicken Enchilada Recipe.
