Chicken, and Cauliflower Enchilada Bake! Healthy recipe of the week. See recipe below.
This is sooo good, even if you don’t like cauliflower, it really just bulks up the dish and makes it more filling, you can barely tell it’s in there, promise. Super easy to make too.
Ingredients:
1 medium onion, chopped (200g)
1 medium bell pepper (200g) (I used red pepper)
1 jalapeño, chopped (can omit if you don’t like spicy)
2 bags frozen cauliflower rice (about 5 cups of using fresh)
4 garlic cloves, chopped
3 medium chicken breasts, cooked and shredded (560g)
2/3 cup non fat Greek yogurt (150g)
1/4 cup reduced fat cream cheese (56g)
4 laughing cow cheese wedges, I used pepper jack (can also just double your cream cheese but I wanted to save some fat here and I like the added flavor with these)
1 (10oz) can green enchilada sauce
1 (4oz) can green chiles
1 TBSP cumin
2 tsp each of chili powder and kosher salt
1 (14.5) can diced tomatoes, drained
Handful of cilantro
8 corn tortillas
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (112g)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Sauté onion and pepper in cooking spray for about 5 minutes.
Add cauliflower rice and cook for 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another minute.
Add shredded chicken, cream cheese, laughing cow cheese (if using), 1/2 of the enchilada sauce, green chiles, spices, cilantro, and tomatoes. Cook until cheese melts. Remove from heat.
Pour half of chicken mixture in a 9x13 baking dish. Top with 4 corn tortillas. Top with remaining chicken. Top with 4 tortillas. Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the top, and top with cheese.
Cook for 25 minutes, and then broil for a few minutes to get top brown.
