Enchilada Chicken in the Crock Pot

I have been looking for a low carb enchilada recipe, but those tortillas just have too many carbs and calories for me to justify. This low carb Enchilada Chicken was created when I was craving enchiladas and I knew the tortillas would just be too many carbs for my food plan. I decided to make my own recipe with no tortillas involved. Just yummy enchilada sauce, cheese and high protein chicken!

I realized since I didn’t have to worry about the tortillas getting too dry or too soggy I could use the crock pot to create my new recipe. This is the perfect warm, gooey comfort food to curb those cravings you may have for cheese and enchilada sauce even when you are on a low carb diet. Plus it only takes a few minutes to make in the crock pot or slow cooker.
