Chicken is an excellent choice for people on a healthy keto diet. It’s a lean protein that’s low in carbs and calories, but high in nutrients. And, when combined with healthy fats and vegetables, it can make for a delicious and satisfying meal.
This Keto Chicken and Roasted Cauliflower Enchilada Plate is a perfect example of that.
This Keto Chicken and Roasted Cauliflower Enchilada Plate is a delicious and easy way to enjoy all your favorite Mexican flavors, without the carbs! The chicken and cauliflower are roasted to perfection, then smothered in a homemade enchilada sauce and topped with shredded cheese. Serve with a side of sour cream or guacamole for an extra special treat!
Keto chicken nuggets are another fan favorite. Made with chicken breast, almond flour, and Parmesan cheese, they’re a delicious and easy way to get your keto fix.
For this Keto Chicken and Roasted Cauliflower Enchilada Plate, I used boneless skinless chicken breasts, but you could also use thighs or drumsticks. The enchilada sauce is made with a combination of tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, and green chilies. You could also use a can of red enchilada sauce if you prefer.
To make the cauliflower “rice,” I simply pulsed some raw cauliflower florets in the food processor until they resembled rice. If you don’t have a food processor, you could also grate the cauliflower.
