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

This is a great "template" recipe! Very filling and satisfying. I made some changes. Don't we all! My husband is a picky eater and he really enjoyed this. Thanks! - 11/3/17

We loved this recipe. We used Rotel tomatoes with Lime and Garlic and added fresh Pablano Peppers. We love spice so this was perfect for us. - 3/16/12

Muy Sabroso. Used rotel for the tomato and jalape�o and dark chile powder for the flaked. Also I used fresh nixtamal (the canned stuff gets to soft for my taste) so I started that with broth the night before. - 1/19/11

My husband picked this recipe to try and we both loved it. Instead of fresh jalapenos, I used a small can of the diced chiles and used chicken breasts instead of thighs. It was a little spicy for me, but I still kept eating. I loved it! - 8/23/10
