These Slow Cooker Grain-Free Chicken Enchiladas make weeknight dinners effortless. Tender, saucy chicken cooked to perfection in the slow cooker, then wrapped in grain-free tortillas and baked until golden and bubbly. It’s the ultimate comfort food made simpler and more nourishing.
I grew up loving cheesy enchiladas, the kind bubbling with sauce and layered with melty goodness. They were one of those nostalgic comfort meals that felt like a hug after a long day.These Grain-Free Chicken Enchiladas bring all that same flavor and comfort back, but with a lighter, blood-sugar-friendly twist that fits seamlessly into a Fab Four lifestyle.
What makes this version so easy is that the slow cooker does most of the work. You just need your favorite enchilada sauce, chicken, and Siete Grain-Free Tortillas. Let the chicken slow-cook until it’s tender and flavorful, shred it, roll it up, and bake until bubbly and golden. Dinner’s ready in under 30 minutes once the chicken is done, and cleanup is a breeze.
It’s one of those go-to meals that makes you feel like you’ve got it all together on a busy night.
The Fab Four in Action
In true Be Well fashion, this meal hits all the elements of the Fab Four:
- Protein from the slow-cooked chicken keeps you full and supports muscle repair.
- Fat from the cheese helps balance blood sugar and promote satiety.
- Fiber from the almond flour tortillas, which are lower in carbs than traditional tortillas.
- Greens are built right into the enchilada sauce, but you can boost nutrients by adding bell peppers inside, or serving with guacamole, a side salad, or sautéed veggies.
It’s the perfect balance of nutrients, designed to keep your energy steady, your cravings calm, and your body nourished, all while delivering that cozy, comforting flavor you love.
