- ¾ cup Red enchilada sauce
For Enchilada Sauce:
- 3 cups Unsalted chicken broth
- 2 tbsp Pure chili powder
- ½ tsp Granulated garlic
- 3 tbsp Tomato paste
- ¼ tsp Instant coffee powder
- 1 pinch Ground cinnamon
- 1 Bay leaf

For Topping:
- 1 Chopped roma tomato
- ¼ cup Chopped pickled jalapenos
- 1 Diced whole avocado
- ½ cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Shredded mild cheddar cheese
Instructions
- First, make the enchilada sauce by adding all of its ingredients in a large frying pan. Keep stirring from time to time and simmer it on a medium heat. Keep simmering until the sauce reduces to 2 cups. Let it cool so that it thickens.
- Then take a Dutch oven and add coconut oil to it. On medium heat, melt the fat. Then add chicken thighs to the hot coconut oil and sear them until light brown.
- Add water and ¾ cup of thickened enchilada sauce. Mix them and add green chilis and onion. Lessen the heat, cover the Dutch oven, and simmer. Cook for 20-25 minutes until chicken thighs are tender and cooked thoroughly.
- Take out the chicken from the sauce carefully. Place it on a clean working surface and shred it. Return the shredded chicken to the sauce. Simmer the chicken in the sauce for 10 minutes (do not cover the pot this time) and reduce the sauce a little.
- Dish out the flavored chicken mixture and top it with Roma tomato, pickled jalapenos, avocado, Sour cream, and mild cheddar cheese. Add some other toppings if you want. Scrumptious Keto Chicken Enchilada Bowl is ready. Bon Appetit!
