Cheese-Wrapped Chicken Enchilada

Cheese-Wrapped Chicken Enchilada on plate with sour cream & olivesThis is a take on chicken enchiladas that's great for cheese lovers, or those looking for a low carb dish. It knocks out the use of tortillas altogether and uses pan melted cheese that solidifies enough to use as a wrapper. The texture is absolutely dreamy, with little crispy edges of cheese. Fun and tasty!

Yes!! I actually made this before I saw your enchilada post, and funnily enough, I thought of you as I prepared it! Months and months of watching how you cook and what you like to use, I think! I hope you try this! :)

Hi Attosa, Yes, haha It's me! :D

I haven't been able to log in here, well, I've not tried *yet* today, as Jess let me know the "the link was broken" which is why I've not been able to do anything here, and I'm surprised my post there did show up, but *Anonymously* but that's okay, (it's me) hahaha And I'm SO glad too that you knew it was me :)

Thank you so much Attosa! :)

I logged in while my post was in "limbo" (not sure what to call it)
but, it's ALL seeming to be working perfectly now.
(my other post went somewhere) maybe because I hadn't logged in at the time, but I am now, and I'm just so glad it all seems to work again. :)
