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 was very yumm! we halved the recipe, but there is definitely too much water! we ended up using a little cornstarch to thicken it up, and once we did it looked and tasted delicious. I topped mine with non-fat greek yogurt and a little shredded cheese. Will maskle again! - 10/22/12

As an Aussie I'm just getting into 'real' chili. This is hands down the best yet. - 12/13/11

Absolutely fantastic! I actually ended up adding twice as much spice (I was making a half batch but forgot when I was adding the spices!) and the taste is incredible! Little thinner consistency than I am used to with chili but incredible with brown rice. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! - 1/21/10

Delicious, my whole family enjoyed and has asked me to make it again and again. - 10/30/09

Honestly wasn't the biggest fan, but probably I played a little too loose with the recipe, plus I didn't have enough chili powder. I left out the green pepper, added spinach, lima beans and corn. Didn't add any water or olive oil as I made it in the crock pot. Good enough to eat, not make again. - 10/25/09

Honestly, with all the changes you made it wasn't even close to being the same recipe.

I did everything but add the water, and instead of using green peppers I used 3 jalepenos, this is an unbelieveable chili! The spices send your taste buds into sheer heaven. - 8/6/09

Super tasty. The 12 cups of water made it more soup-like than I'm used to for chili but we just simmered it longer and it went over great, Thanks! - 5/12/09

You can certainly adjust the amount of water to your own taste. Just remember to adjust the serving size and/or the calorie count.

Where do I find the Fiesta low-sodium chili powder? I can't wait to make this! - 11/10/08

I get mine at my local co-op which carries it in bulk. It is also available in the bulk spice section of Whole Foods Market . It is labeled NO sodium, not LOW sodium. Thanks for your interest. I hope you enjoy it.

WOW!!! This sounds fabulous and I've definitely hit the "print" button! The cocoa was a bit of a surprise so I'm intrigued! - 11/10/08
