Step-by-Step Instructions
- In your slow cooker, combine the boneless, skinless chicken breast, one can of enchilada sauce, chopped green chilis, and a sprinkle of your spice blend including garlic powder, chili powder, and cumin. Mix everything together well, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated in the sauce for maximum flavor.
- Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6 to 8 hours. The goal is to achieve tender chicken that shreds easily.
- Once the chicken is cooked to perfection, carefully remove it from the slow cooker and place it in a large bowl. Using two forks, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir it back into the sauce.
- In a large frying pan over medium heat, lightly fry each tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side until they are soft and pliable. Keep them warm in a clean kitchen towel.
- Take a warm tortilla and place a generous scoop of the chicken mixture in the center. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and place it seam-side down in the slow cooker.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are well coated. Sprinkle a cup of shredded cheese over the top.
- Cover the slow cooker again and heat everything on high for an additional 20 minutes.
- Once the cooking time is complete, carefully remove the lid and serve the Chicken Slow Cooker Enchiladas hot. Top them with your favorite toppings.
