I shredded the chicken and added about 3/4 of the creamy mixture to it. Reserving last 1/4. Filled low carb tortillas with cheese and chicken mixture and rolled up. Placed in casserole dish and poured remaining 1/4 of creamy mixture over the top. Then cooked as above. YUMMY!! Great for keto - all the cream and cream cheese give you the fat to balance out the protein in the chicken!
