Easy Chicken Enchiladas
This has to be the easiest recipe ever. It’s the one I go to when I know I’m not going to have time to fool with supper at 5:00. I can stick it in the slow cooker and be done with it until suppertime. Not only is it easy for me, but ALL THREE of my children like it! Win-Win!
All you need is three cans of red enchilada sauce, a packet of taco seasoning, and some chicken breasts. I use several chicken breasts so that we can eat leftovers for a day or two!
Dump the sauce and the seasoning packet into the slow cooker.
Stir it with your left hand so you can take a picture with your right hand.
Place your chicken in the sauce mixture, making sure each breast is coated.
Put the lid on it and set it to low and go about your business for six to eight hours. Go visit your family, that’s what I did!
When you come home from visiting your family, it should look something like this:
*Please ignore the fact that my lens steamed up as I took the picture. I never claimed to be a photographer.
Take your chicken out, one piece at a time, and shred it. It should fall apart. I recommend using a large slotted spoon to get it out of the slow cooker. Or you could just use the scoop to your Fry Daddy, like me.
Stir shredded chicken back into sauce mixture.
Spoon chicken mixture onto flour tortillas. Top with cheese, sour cream, tomatoes, onions, lettuce – whatever makes your heart happy!
That’s it! Enjoy!
