Crock Pot Chicken Enchiladas

Crock Pot Chicken Enchiladas

I got this recipe from my sister in law several years ago and have used it TONS! My kids love it - so much, in fact, that Olivia requested it for her birthday dinner last night.

In the morning, dump a bag of frozen chicken breasts into your crockpot.
Dump (do you like my word "dump"??) two big cans of Campbell's Cream of Chicken soup AND one big can of enchilada sauce on top of chicken. Cook on high until chicken is d.o.n.e.
I use mild enchilada sauce because I'm a wimp... but I've used medium before and the kick is good. It all depends on your (and your family's) preference.

Once chicken is d.o.n.e. pull it out and shred with two forks.
Fill corn tortillas with chicken, cheese (I've used colby jack and cheddar - both are good) and sauce. Roll up. Fill pan (or pans in my case). Cover with sauce, cheese and sliced olives. Bake 350° 20 minutes or until completely heated through and bubbly.

SO GOOD and SO EASY!

Serve with cornbread, chips and salsa, and corn! OH, and lettuce on top! YUM!

tip: warm tortillas 3 at a time in microwave before filling and rolling or they'll rip in process and that's a bummer.

You mean me?! We use that one all the time too. I like the diced olives in it. So yummy.

Have you tried the Polynesian Pork Chops or the Chicken Fajitas in a crock pot yet?

They are yummy too!

It was delicious! I used my Cuisinart to shred the cheese and I ground the chicken and olives in it too. It didn't matter the texture really because it was all just thrown in there anyway and it made my job easier. Even so I still made a big mess. Definitely adding it to our favorites list.

this looks super yummy!

by BIG cans of cream of chicken i'm assuming you don't mean just the reg. soup cans....

and how many chicken breasts are in the bag you buy - is it 2lb bag? i'm wondering if you could throw in a whole chicken and then pull out the bones :).......

Hey Tara,
When I say "big", I'm referring to the 26 ouncer.
Any cereal for me anytime soon??

This is great! I made it for my family and there was so much food I was able to freeze half of it. It turned out great after being freezed.
