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!

Mellissa Sevigny says
Thrilled to hear this Lisa, thanks for taking the time to let me know!
Ruth says
I made this for the first time. I used fresh cauliflower because that’s what I had on hand, but next time I’ll go for the frozen to make this a super quick and easy meal to make. This was absolutely delicious! I almost bought the green enchilada sauce until I realized salsa verde is an entirely different product. I will be making this again and again! Thanks for this great recipe, Melissa!
Mellissa Sevigny says
So happy you enjoyed this Ruth! My one suggestion if using frozen is to be sure to thaw and drain it before adding the other ingredients so it doesn’t turn out watery. Thanks for taking the time to rate and comment – it’s very much appreciated!
Dorothy says
This is one of my favorite go-to, easy to make recipes. Its great for multiple servings. An easy lunch to take to work and everybody thinks it smells so good. They ask what I have and then I can plug IBIH.
YUM

This is by far the BEST keto chicken recipe I have tried. My children love it, and it stays on the dinner rotation. It’s on the menu this week as well! I love how quick and simple it is to make. It’s perfect for a busy night’s dinner and cheesy comfort food.

This is a staple in my keto diet. Delicious, filling, and never gets old! Genius use of salsa verde. Thank you, Mellissa, for this and all your recipes. They are not just ‘good, for keto,’ they are delicious PERIOD.
