Low Carb Chicken Enchilada Casserole

This is a low carb/healthier adaptation of a Tyler Florence recipe.  You'll want to make sure that you make the Roasted Salsa Verde that I adapted as well. 

Ingredients

  • Assortment of Peppers
    •     1 Red Bell Pepper, chopped
    •     1 Green Bell Pepper, chopped
    •     2 Jalapenos, chopped
    •     2 Serranos, chopped
    •     2 Anahiem Chiles, chopped
  • 1 Large Onion, chopped
  • 8 Chicken Breasts, baked and then shredded
  • 4 cups of Roasted Salsa Verde
  • 2 cups of shredded Monterey Jack cheese

 

Cook up some peppers and onions until the onions are translucent.

Spicy Peppers and Onions

Shred the chicken breasts.  I find it's best to let them cool and just go at it with your hands.

Shredded Chicken

Mix the chicken with the peppers/onion mixture.  Add two cups of the salsa and mix together.

Mixin' it up

In a glass baking dish, spread about  1 cup of the salsa on the bottom then pack in the mixture.  Top with another cup of salsa.
