My original Keto Green Chicken Enchilada Cauliflower Casserole is still one of the most popular Keto chicken recipes on IBIH! Super easy to throw together, this tasty keto cauliflower casserole is destined to become a family favorite!
As a long-term ketoer, low carb cauliflower casseroles are my everything. Recently I posted the Keto Cauliflower alla Vodka Casserole and it was an instant hit, so I’m guessing you guys are big fans too!
What I love about a Keto cauliflower casserole is it’s versatility. A heap of cooked cauliflower is like a blank canvas on which almost any flavors can be thrown with great results.
Especially if there is CHEEEESE involved.
Case and point – Jalapeno Popper Cauliflower Casserole?? Done it. Spinach and Artichoke Dip Cauliflower Casserole?? YASSSSS! Even low carb Pepperoni Pizza Cauliflower Casserole – still one of my most popular recipes here on IBIH.
Meanwhile, this keto Green Chicken Enchilada inspired recipe is my new favorite low carb cauliflower casserole – and I don’t make that statement lightly. Many of the keto recipes here on IBIH I’ve made and posted and never made again, because as delicious as they might be, I’m just fickle like that.
This keto Green Chicken Enchilada Cauliflower Casserole recipe I have already made 6 times. In only 3 weeks. I’m obsessed with it. Nay, addicted to it. It’s a long term relationship we’ve got going here – and I’m all in.
Once you taste it for yourself, you’ll know why.
The flavors and textures are out of this world, but what I also love about it is HOW STINKING EASY IT IS.
To really make this Keto Green Chicken Enchilada Casserole fast, I use frozen cauliflower florets and pick up a rotisserie chicken on my way home – it takes five minutes to bone and shred the chicken while the cauliflower is cooking – and then you just have to chop your cilantro and shred the cheese.
Once that’s done you can literally throw everything in one dish, stir it up, and bake or microwave it until it’s all hot and bubbly and…OM NOM NOM!
It’s so good that I burn my mouth EVERY TIME because I eat it wayyy too hot and the melty, cheesy, deliciousness bites me back on the way down. It’s totally worth it. I AIN’T EVEN MAD.
I could never be mad at you delicious gooey cauliflower casserole…
Sorry, I forgot we had company…
ANYWAY. It’s cheesy people – and it’s got chunks of tender chicken mixed into the softened cauliflower, a creamy and tangy sauce with a little heat to it, and did I mention the CHEESE?
#somuchcheese
It also reheats like a dream and is just as good if not better leftover! I really can’t say enough about how good this keto green chicken enchilada cauliflower casserole recipe is.
I’m not kidding – I could go on and on…
Instead I’m going to let the photos do the talking, and wrap this up and get it posted so that YOU can make it and see for yourself how utterly addicting this keto green chicken enchilada cauliflower casserole is.
Be sure to make it and report back ASAP to let us know what you thought! You can also tag me with photos of your results @ibreatheimhungry on Instagram!

This was absolutely delicious. I used ms. Renfroes green jalapeƱo salsa (very spicy…just how I like it) I want to try with Jack cheese to give it a little more “Mexican” flare. The cheddar is good too though. Will definitely make again. Thanks for the great low carb meal
Valerie says
First, my family does NOT like to eat vegetables, especially my husband. When I told him what was in this he cringed and offered to order pizza right away. He loved it so much he went back for seconds and thirds. My kids (boys 11 & 14) devoured this and didn’t even realize it was cauliflower until I mentioned in a conversation several days later. Thank you for making a quick to fix, healthy recipe that my entire family loved. I can’t wait to try more
Mellissa Sevigny says
Yay! So glad that this was a hit Valerie!!! Thanks for taking the time to let me know that the entire family enjoyed it!!!
Amanda says
Could this be made in a slow cooker? Thanks!
Mellissa Sevigny says
I don’t see why not Amanda, though I haven’t actually tried it! A few hours on low should do it though!
Christina says
One of my favorite quick meals! Love this!! Five stars x 2
Melody says
This recipe is awesome. It replaces my traditional New Mexico green chile casserole – just used green hole instead of green sauce. Thank you for the recipe.
Heather says
I’m making it with jalapeƱo cream cheese tonight and I’m sure it will be spectacular! Everyone I’ve made this dish for tries it and groans and rolls their eyes and shouts “OH MY GOD!” , then asks for the recipe! It’s a winner for sure! Thanks Mellissa!
Dimitri Karimbakas says
I’ve seriously made this like 15 times since I saw recipe and love it! I do add a few jalepenos and mix in some Sriracha to give it a kick. What is considered a serving size for nutrition info you posted though??
Maria says
Dimitri, the recipe says it makes: 6 servings, 1 cup per serving.
Jo says
I love this! Even better for leftovers lunch the next day. It really satisfies that enchilada craving on a keto diet. Thanks so much! Xo
Maile Karris says
We don’t do a lot of dairy – so excluded the cream cheese and the sour cream – still came out great! To add some richness of flavor and a bit more heat I did cook up a side of copycat chipotle peppers and onions. Will definitely make again! A great way to “hide” cauliflower.
Randi says
Made this tonight, and it is absolutely delicious! I don’t know how I could do low-carb without your wonderful recipes!
