Introduction

Made this with leftovers from the "crockpot sticky chicken"
This is one of my family's favorite recipes. It's high in sodium though! Hopefully I can get my hands on some low sodium enchilada sauce soon and re-do this.

This is great for leftover turkey also!

    You can make your own enchilada sauce without salt.

    Incredible!
    Greatly reduced the amount of sodium in this recipe by using homemade chicken broth, (you could low sodium broth) and I agree with ASKCHER but here's a little simpler enchilada sauce recipe you can find on Spark https://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-det
