Keto Pollo Fundido Recipe

This Keto Pollo Fundido Recipe is delicious, and super easy to make, if it weren’t for that bubbly Monterey Jack on the top, you could almost get away with cooking the rest of this in a Crock Pot if you were feeling creative. I personally prefer it bakes in the oven with the cheese all leoparded on top like a nice pizza!

Pollo Fundido is traditionally served rolled in a crispy tortilla, kind of like a Chimichanga, so we are going to forgo those for now, and bake this chicken dish in the oven without them. You could even go as far as dicing up the Chicken Breast meat and incorporating all of the ingredients together in the Baking Dish and baking it more like a Casserole too. Whatever works well for you, we are just here to inspire you all 🙂

KETO POLLO FUNDIDO RECIPE

EASE OF PREPARATION: Easy

PREP TIME: 10 Minutes

COOKING TIME: 45 Minutes

TOTAL TIME: 55 Minutes

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 lbs Chicken Breasts
• 8 ounces Cream Cheese
• 1 Cup Monterrey Jack Cheese
• 4 ounces Diced Green Chilis
• 1/2 tsp Granulated Garlic
• 1/4 tsp Cumin
• 1/4 tsp Pink Himalayan Salt
• 1/4 tsp Black Pepper

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat the Oven to 375*F.
2. In a Large Mixing Bowl add 8 Ounces of Cream Cheese (Softened – Not Whipped), then season with the Granulated Garlic, Cumin, Pink Himalayan Salt, and Black Pepper. Stir generously to combine the seasoning well.
3. Add 4oz of Diced Green Chilis (I prefer the canned variety, just be sure to drain them thoroughly) to the Cream Cheese mixture and fold them into the Cream Cheese mixture to get the Green Chilis nicely incorporated.
4. In a Large Baking Dish place the full Chicken Breasts on the bottom and be sure to space them out evenly. It is okay if they are crammed in there side-by-side but just be sure that they are not overlapping or else they may not cook evenly.
5. Spread the Cream Cheese mixture across the top of the Chicken Breasts to cover them completely.
6. Shred 1 Cup of Monterey Jack Cheese, and top the smothered Chicken Breasts evenly.
7. Place in the middle oven rack for 45 minutes at 375*F.
8. Take out when chicken is cooked all the way, and allow to cool on counter for a few minutes before serving.
