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

Hi STEELER! Just wanted to say, if you don't want to use the crockpot, this is DEFINITELY delicious baked in the oven. I use the crockpot sometimes for 'convenience' and to have it ready earlier since I work ... but honestly, tossing it in the oven for an hour or so is just as easy & yummier.

Very good. Used 1 Tbsp brown sugar twin with 1 Tbsp brown mustard with salsa. Only used 5 chicken breasts and amount of salsa was just right. Will definitely make this again with real sugar next time since calorie diff is small. - 8/15/08

My kids were VERY happy with this meal, and I enjoyed it too! I chose the oven receipe. I think I would use chicken tenders next time instead of chicken breasts, or increase the amount of salsa by maybe another 1/2 jar if I'm using chk. breasts. I think Spanish rice would enhance the dish too. - 2/19/08

I made this with black beans last night for dinner, and it was fabulous! My husband raved about it. I don't think I've ever heard him rave about chicken before. - 1/2/10

This was soooooo good! We will be having this a lot! I had a jar of an avocado salsa, and I used horseradish mustard and since my DH is diabetic, I used brown sugar twin. Had salad, ranch style beans with jalapeños and some organic roasted sesame chips to scoop the salsa. It is a keeper! - 4/29/08

Today is our first day in the quest to make healthier eating choices. I was very pleased with this recipe, it was absolutely fantastic! I used picante salsa and served it over greater value southwest style vegetables for a meal right around 400 calories. I will certainly be making this again! - 3/7/11

This is amazing! I cooked 4 chicken breasts and the whole salsa jar was just enough. I added some low sodium taco seasoning recipe I found on here, as well as melted Tex Mex Kraft cheese, and served with corn on top. It was a hit!!! - 8/18/10

Very good! My son shredded his, put it in a tortilla, added cheese, avocado, and sour cream. He said he'd eat it anytime. I ate it plain with some rice. Really good taste. - 8/21/09

I loved this recipe. Was a little hesitant at first thinking salsa would be a bit harsh. It was excellent.
I used mild salsa and 2 TBLS brown sugar and 1 TBLS pineapple mustard, it was all I had. My mom thought it was a bit spicy but I thought it was perfect.
I will make this again and again. - 4/17/08

I served over brown rice and pinto beans. Great healthy meal! Just enough tang and just enough sweet. It went it my recipe box. - 4/17/08

I baked it in the oven for an hour instead of the slow cooker - and it was amazing. My husband who is picky and not too excited about eating better raved about it. We had old elpaso spicy fat free refried beans and knorr southwestern rice with it both low in calories and fat. - 1/4/08
