Hearty Crock Pot Chicken Enchiladas Oamc Recipes

Steps:

• In a 3-qt. slow cooker, combine the chicken, enchilada sauce and chiles. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until meat is tender., Remove chicken and shred with 2 forks. Reserve 1-2/3 cups cooking juices. Pour the remaining cooking juices into a large bowl; add the beans and shredded chicken. Coat 2 freezer-safe 8-in. square baking dishes with cooking spray; add 1/2 cup reserved juices to each., Place about 1/3 cup chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla. Roll up and place seam side down in prepared dishes. Pour remaining reserved juices over top; sprinkle with cheese. , Cover 1 dish and freeze for up to 3 months. Cover and bake second dish at 350° for 20 minutes. Uncover; bake until cheese is lightly browned, about 5 minutes longer. Serve with toppings as desired., To use frozen enchiladas: Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Bake as directed.

Steps:

• 1. Start up crock pot, put just 1/4 of a can of enchilada sauce in the pot.
• 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.

Steps:

• Place chicken in crock pot and add all crock pot ingredients.( I make sure the stewed tomatoes and veggies are on top of the chicken.).
• Cook on low for 8 hours.
• Turn and stir about halfway through.
• Add mushrooms (if using)
• Mix and stir chicken with a fork,breaking it apart ( It will shred on its own this way).
• Chicken mixture will be saucy thats ok thats where the flavor is! I take out what I am using for the tortillas with a slotted spoon. I always have chicken leftover and I freeze the rest.
• For Enchiladas-.
• Set oven to 350 degrees.
• Spray 9 by 13 inch pan with canola spray (I line my pan with foil first).
