This clean eating version of Chicken Enchiladas is 21 Day Fix friendly and definitely one of those I-can’t-believe-it’s-healthy types of recipes. Besides the cheese, it’s also nearly fat-free. The green chiles and cumin add flavor to the filling.
Modifications: For the 21 Day Fix challengers, go lighter on the cheese if you’re in a lower calorie bracket. Or, add more cheese to half of the pan if you’ve got picky family members and clean eating kids like I do.
