• ½ teaspoon garlic powder

INGREDIENT NOTES:

CHICKEN:

• Use skinless, boneless chicken breasts to make rolling easier. Thinly slice them or pound them flat to guarantee consistent cooking. Go for fresh chicken for the most flavor and texture.

CHEDDAR CHEESE:

• The strong flavor of the sharp cheddar enhances the creamy filling. It gives a little tart taste and melts wonderfully. Always use full-fat cheese for keto dishes.

MOZZARELLA CHEESE:

• The mild, stretchy texture of mozzarella holds the filling. It also balances the strong taste of cheddar cheese. Freshly shredded mozzarella melts more evenly compared to prepackaged mozzarella.

CREAM CHEESE:

• The filling has a thick, velvety basis because of the cream cheese. Use soft cream cheese to combine easily. Additionally, it increases fat, which keeps the rolls moist and keto-friendly.

KETO ENCHILADA SAUCE:

• Use a keto enchilada sauce or prepare your own to adhere to keto guidelines. The sauce adds moisture & smoky depth. Either mild or spicy, depending on your taste.

GREEN CHILI:

• Green chilies provide the mild spice, and light flavor in the filling. They complement creamy dishes wonderfully without taking over. Use jalapeños instead for added spiciness.

OLIVE OIL:

• Olive oil aids in the sear process by adding healthy fats and preserving the chicken’s fluids. It keeps carbohydrates low while adding flavor.

GARLIC POWDER:

• Garlic powder easily blends with the taste & provide deep savory flavor. It goes well with paprika & cumin. Use sparingly for a well-balanced flavor.

CUMIN:

• It provides a simple, warm undertone to the rolls that characterizes Mexican cuisine. It intensifies the sauce’s smoky flavors. Just a little is sufficient.

PAPRIKA:

• Smoked paprika adds the rich, smoky scent and gentle heat. The best-tasting paprika is Spanish smoked.

SALT & PEPPER:

• Salt and pepper well season the chicken. Adjust the amounts depending on how salty your cheese and sauce are. The taste of freshly cracked pepper is delightful.

CILANTRO:

• Cilantro adds color & freshness. It improves aroma and balances the dish’s richness. Use parsley if you like your flavor softer.
