Green Chicken Enchilada Cauliflower Casserole – Low Carb
As a long-term ketoer, low carb cauliflower casseroles are my everything. Recently I posted the Keto Cauliflower alla Vodka Casserole and it was an instant hit, so I’m guessing you guys are big fans too!
What I love about a Keto cauliflower casserole is it’s versatility. A heap of cooked cauliflower is like a blank canvas on which almost any flavors can be thrown with great results.
Especially if there is CHEEEESE involved.
Case and point – Jalapeno Popper Cauliflower Casserole?? Done it. Spinach and Artichoke Dip Cauliflower Casserole?? YASSSSS! Even low carb Pepperoni Pizza Cauliflower Casserole – still one of my most popular recipes here on IBIH.
They’re ALLLL good, and there are several others you can find in the Recipe Index that I haven’t even mentioned.
And there’s plenty more where that came from. I’ve got a whole list of keto cauliflower casserole recipe concepts that I haven’t even experimented with yet. But I will. Oh yes, I will…
Meanwhile, this Green Chicken Enchilada inspired recipe is my new favorite low carb cauliflower casserole – and I don’t make that statement lightly.
Many of the keto recipes here on IBIH I’ve made and posted and never made again, because as delicious as they might be, I’m just fickle like that.
This keto cauliflower casserole recipe I have already made 6 times. In only 3 weeks. I’m obsessed with it. Nay, addicted to it. It’s a long term relationship we’ve got going here – and I’m all in.
Once you taste it for yourself, you’ll know why.
The flavors and textures are out of this world, but what I also love about it is HOW STINKING EASY IT IS.
To really make this Green Chicken Enchilada Casserole fast I use frozen cauliflower florets and pick up a rotisserie chicken on my way home – it takes five minutes to bone and shred the chicken while the cauliflower is cooking – and then you just have to chop your cilantro and shred the cheese.
Once that’s done you can literally throw everything in one dish, stir it up, and bake or microwave it until it’s all hot and bubbly and…OM NOM NOM!
It’s so good that I burn my mouth EVERY TIME because I eat it wayyy too hot and the melty, cheesy, deliciousness bites me back on the way down. It’s totally worth it. I AIN’T EVEN MAD.
I could never be mad at you delicious gooey cauliflower casserole…
Sorry, I forgot we had company…
ANYWAY. It’s cheesy people – and it’s got chunks of tender chicken mixed into the softened cauliflower, a creamy and tangy sauce with a little heat to it, and did I mention the CHEESE?
#somuchcheese
It also reheats like a dream and is just as good if not better leftover! I really can’t say enough about how good this low carb cauliflower casserole recipe is.
I’m not kidding – I could go on and on…
Instead I’m going to let the photos do the talking, and wrap this up and get it posted so that YOU can make it and see for yourself how utterly addicting this keto cauliflower casserole is.
If you’re still not convinced – take a look at this 60 second recipe video to see how easy it really is!!!
Then make it and report back ASAP to let us know what you thought!
