Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon avocado oil
  • ½ Onion, chopped
  • 2 Garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 Chicken Breast, cut into bite sized pieces
  • 3 teaspoons chili powder
  • 2 ½ teaspoons Cumin
  • 2 Cups Low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 Cup Enchilada Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • Kosher salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 Cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 Cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Heat avocado oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  • Add in the onion, garlic, spices and chicken.
  • Cook until the chicken is cooked through (about 8 minutes).
  • Pour in the enchilada sauce and chicken broth.
  • Whisk in the xanthan gum and bring to a boil to thicken.
  • Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve in bowls with lot's of cheese.

Notes

  • Enchilada Sauce: Find one that has little to no sugar
  • What is Xanthan Gum?
  • I like to add the cheese to the individual bowls because I find that if it is added to the whole pot, it sinks to the bottom and becomes a melted glob on the bottom of the pot.
