Instructions:
1. Prepare the Chicken Filling:
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until they become translucent.
2. Cook the Chicken:
- Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until they are no longer pink in the center.
- Sprinkle the low-carb taco seasoning over the chicken and stir to coat the meat evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
3. Add Cream Cheese and Broth:
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir in the softened cream cheese until it melts and forms a creamy sauce.
- Pour in the chicken broth, and continue to stir until you have a smooth, creamy mixture.
4. Season and Simmer:
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
- Allow the chicken filling to simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
5. Assemble the Tacos:
- If using taco shells, warm them according to package instructions.
- Lay out your choice of taco shells or large lettuce leaves.
- Spoon the creamy chicken mixture into each shell or leaf.
6. Add Toppings:
