Best Crock Pot Shredded Chicken Enchiladas Recipes

EASY SLOW COOKER CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a 13- x 9-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
• If using corn tortillas, place 8 tortillas in a stack between a double layer of wet paper towels on a microwave-safe dish. Cook in microwave for 1 minute, or until warmed and pliable. If using flour tortillas, warm a stack of 8 on a plate in the microwave just until softened, about 40 seconds. See recipe note if you'd like to fry your corn tortillas.
• Pour just enough enchilada sauce into prepared baking dish to cover the bottom with a thin layer.
• Spoon a few tablespoons of shredded chicken towards one end of a tortilla. Sprinkle with a bit of Monterey Jack and sharp cheddar and roll tightly. Place seam side down in baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the enchiladas, cover dish with foil, and bake for 25 minutes. Remove dish from oven and remove foil. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and return to oven for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbly.
• Garnish cooked enchiladas as desired. Serve with sour cream!

• 2. Put chicken in, and pour the rest of the first can or enchilada sauce in the pot.
• 3. Let cook on Low for 7-8 hours or High for 3-4 hours. 1 hour before you want to assemble the enchiladas, take chicken out and shred it.
• 4. Put chicken back in crock with enchilada sauce and let simmer for about 30-60 minutes. (You don't have to do this, but it makes the chicken more flavorful because you are getting the sauce all over the chicken).
• 5. Pre-heat oven to 350. Pull out a 9X13 pan to put the enchildadas inches Pour enchilada sauce, just enough to coat the bottom of the pan.
• 6. Start assembling the enchiladas by scooping up some chicken and putting in the tortillas, topped with cheese.
• 7. Roll the filled tortillas and put in to the 9X13. Keeping doing this until the chicken is all gone or the pan is filled. ( I squish a lot of enchiladas in one pan).
• 8. Pour remaining enchilada sauce on top and top with remaining cheese.
• 9. Put in to preheated oven for 20 minutes. Just enough to warm all the way through.
