Low Carb Chicken Enchilada's

I made this recipe a few weeks ago and it was awesome!  If you know me, you know that I LOVE Mexican food.  This White Chicken Enchilada recipe is one of the first Pinterest recipes I tried years ago, if you haven't tried that recipe yet, I strongly encourage you to, it's so good!  However, it didn't fit the bill for my lower carb ways so I began my search for alternatives.  I struck gold with this one from Food.com.  I added more chicken and less than a pint of heavy whipping cream.  Warning...this dish is RICH! 

5 chicken breasts, cooked and cut into pieces or 3 chicken breasts, shredded

1 (4 ounce) can green chilies, chopped
1/2 onion, chopped
1 (1 ounce) package cream cheese
2 cups grated cheddar cheese (Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, etc.) or 2 cups your favorite
cheddar cheese, mix (Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, etc.)
1/2 pint heavy whipping cream

1 bit butter

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

 

Cut up onion.  Melt butter in a saucepan.  Once butter is melted, cook onions until they become transparent.  Put chicken and green chilies in and mix with the onion mixture.  Chop cream cheese into small squares and stir into chicken mixture until cheese is melted. 

 

Spread mixture into a casserole dish (13x9).  Top with 1 cup of cheese.  Then pour the heavy whipping cream over the mix and top with rest of cheese mix. 

 

Bake on 350 for 30-35 minutes.
