Keto Chicken Enchilada Bowls are quick and simple to prepare, super comforting, low carb meals.

I kept hearing about and seeing ads for those Panera grain bowls, and of course, via their subliminal mind control, I started craving one, lol.

So, the natural solution was to create a keto, grain-free version of my own.

Keto Chicken Enchilada Bowls was my quick to assemble solution.

Wanting this to be a quick and easy recipe, I purchased some time-saving items at the store to make prep a breeze.

Time-Saving Tips

I used simple to prepare frozen pre-riced cauliflower from the frozen food section at the grocery store to save preparation time.
I also used organic pre-cooked grilled chicken breast strips from the deli section at the grocery store.
This lower-carb, gluten-free, Hatch Red Enchilada Sauce is delicious, easy to find, and a real time saver as opposed to making homemade enchilada sauce.

But, if you want to make your own low carb enchilada sauce, this low carb red enchilada sauce recipe is a good one.

The best part is always the toppings! You can adjust these or omit these to suit your taste.

The toppings I used are:

Grated cheeses
Sliced black olives
sliced jalapenos
avocado slices
sour cream

I love how the cauliflower rice sops up the enchilada sauce and oh the deliciousness of melted cheeses with the creamy avocado and sour cream. Yes, this is a healthy fat meal!

All these shortcuts are so smart. I never think to make something like this for myself because I assume I'd have to make all the components so they're paleo/gluten-free/keto, but you've made it so simple!

LOVED this! Not sure why I never thought to do enchiladas bowl style...I've been doing them by making my own low carb tortillas...but this is SO much quicker!! Thanks!
