Ingredients
Scale
- 10 boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 2.5 pounds)
- 8 low-carb tortillas
- 3 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Colby, Monterey Jack, or a mix)
- 1 recipe Keto Enchilada Sauce
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread 2 tablespoons of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9×13 casserole dish. Place the chicken thighs on top and pour another 2 tablespoons of sauce over them.
