Healthy Recipes | Chicken Enchilada Skillet

Chicken Enchilada Skillet is the best part of cheesy chicken enchiladas in a 30-minute meal you can make on busy weeknights. No tortillas needed for this keto twist on a Tex Mex favorite. This easy low carb dinner recipe is the perfect way to change up Taco Tuesday or for a gluten-free Cinco de Mayo recipe.

The first time I heard of the keto diet, it was from my friend whose daughter was starting it to control seizures from a pretty severe form of epilepsy. Then I learned about the benefits of this low carb diet for diabetes control from my friend Carolyn Ketchum of the blog All Day I Dream About Food. Carolyn is a rock star in the keto world and in the food blogging world. And she is also just an all-around awesome person.

She creates some of the most amazing low carb recipes you’ve ever seen. Sure, things like steak and chicken and veggies are staples of the keto diet. So, of course, she has amazing recipes for those. In fact, one of her previous cookbook recipes was actually the basis for my Bolognese Stuffed Mushrooms. 

These days you can’t read health and fitness news or scroll through your Facebook feed without someone talking about their successes with weight loss, increased energy, mental clarity, or any of the other benefits of a keto lifestyle.
