I made this Keto Chicken Enchilada Bowl on the stove top, but it can easily be made in a slow cooker or an Instant Pot by adding the chicken, enchilada sauce, chiles and onions together and letting them cook on low heat all day.

Keto Chicken Enchilada Bowl

Prep Time: 20 minutes 

Cook Time: 30 minutes 

Total Time: 50 minutes

Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup water
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 1– 4 oz can diced green chiles
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil (for searing chicken)
• 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 3/4 cup red enchilada sauce (recipe from Low Carb Maven)

Toppings (feel free to customize):

• 1/4 cup chopped pickled jalapenos
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 roma tomato, chopped
• 1 whole avocado, diced
• 1 cup shredded cheese (I used mild cheddar

Optional: serve over plain cauliflower rice (or mexican cauliflower rice) for a more complete meal!

Instructions:

1. First, In a pot or dutch oven over medium heat melt the coconut oil. Once hot, sear chicken thighs until lightly brown.
2. Second, Pour in enchilada sauce and water then add onion and green chiles. Reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Cook chicken for 17-25 minutes or until chicken is tender and fully cooked through to at least 165 degrees internal temperature.
3. Next, Careully remove the chicken and place onto a work surface. Chop or shred chicken (your preference) then add it back into the pot. Let the chicken simmer uncovered for an additional 10 minutes to absorb flavor and allow the sauce to reduce a little.
4. To Serve, top with avocado, cheese, jalapeno, sour cream, tomato, and any other desired toppings. Feel free to customize these to your preference. Serve alone or over cauliflower rice if desired just be sure to update your personal nutrition info as needed.
