Chicken Enchilada-Style for the Slow Cooker

I threw this together from what I had in my pantry at the time. With proper planning, I'd use fat-free soup and sour cream. It is delicious as-is, but fat could certainly stand to be cut.

You can put the chicken into the slow cooker while still frozen, so prep time is virtually non-existent! A great choice to throw in before bed for lunch at work or in the morning for that night's dinner.

This recipe calls for two pounds of chicken, also because it was what I had available (three large breasts), but would make a great meal with just one pound, too.

I served this along with brown rice and black beans. Tasty!Submitted by: BLUEKITTEN

These were the best enchiladas I have ever made. Added chopped jalapenos to chicken mixture for a little kick. - 3/29/11

Everytime I make this I get rave reviews. It is the dish I turn to for potlucks at work and at church (it gives me something I know that I can eat without guilt). It has become a family favorite. A must try. - 12/16/09
