    Chicken Enchilada Casserole is full of delicious Mexican flavors. Made with rotisserie chicken that is tossed with enchilada sauce and homemade taco seasoning. A cheesy cauliflower rice base takes the place of tortillas. This is a delicious low carb and keto-friendly casserole recipe the entire family will love.

    On family dinner night, this Chicken Enchilada Casserole is the best recipe to feed a hungry family. This low carb version is so delicious, I don't have to make Chicken Enchiladas two different ways. It is just as easy to make as a casserole with tortillas. So, you can easily stick to your diet and enjoy delicious comfort food at the same time.

    Casseroles make easy weeknight dinners

    On family dinner night, the one thing I do not want to do is work in the kitchen. That is why this Chicken Enchilada Casserole is one of my all-time favorite dinner recipes to serve. You have the flavor of an enchilada in a casserole that everyone can eat no matter what their diet is.

    Make-ahead meals are the best. They are super easy to reheat or just assemble and refrigerate until you are ready to eat dinner. Casseroles to make meal prep and clean up easy for those busy nights. They also make great dinners to feed the family for our weekly family dinner.

    What you need to make this Chicken Enchilada Casserole

    Cauliflower Rice is easy to make on your own, but you can buy it fresh pre-chopped (raw) or frozen.

    Rotisserie Chicken is best if you have it available. Chicken breasts can be cooked and shredded in place of the rotisserie chicken. I used a whole rotisserie chicken, which came to 4 cups shredded.

    Homemade Taco Seasoning. I love to make my own taco seasoning. I use it in many things I make, this Chicken Enchilada Casserole for one. This taco seasoning recipe is sugar-free and keto-friendly.

    Cheese. I love to use a Mexican cheese blend. However, any cheese you want to use should work.

    Enchilada Sauce is easily bought in a can. Keto dieters can buy a keto-friendly enchilada sauce that has no added sugar or modified food starch. This brand is the one I use and love. Or, you this Cheese Enchiladas with Red Sauce recipe has a sauce recipe that is sugar-free and keto-friendly.

    Casserole Dish: This is my very favorite brand of casserole dishes. The blue one in my photos, however, is no longer available.

    Mixing Bowls: I love these mixing bowls. They come in a set of 3, are stackable and have lids. Their colors and design make me happy!

    Chicken Enchilada Casserole can be enjoyed by low carb, keto, and regular diets alike!

    Many homes have a combination of different diets. And, making more than one version of a recipe can be daunting. So, I do my best to not do so.

    This Chicken Enchilada Casserole can be enjoyed by those on keto and non-keto diets as is. Or for those non-keto family members, offer them an option that doesn't cause more work in the kitchen.

    Low carb and non keto eaters can be offered the option of a tortilla. Corn tortillas, low carb or regular, can be warmed up and served alongside this casserole. I call this the Chicken Enchilada Casserole Taco. I love this low carb tortilla option.

    Keto dieters will be happy to have sour cream, avocado, and black olives to top their casserole. I can promise they will love this dish without the tortilla.
