Crock Pot Shredded Chicken Enchiladas Recipe Recipe For Chicken

CROCKPOT SHREDDED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place chicken in the bottom of the slow cooker. Position the chicken so it's in a single layer and season, if desired (see blog post above for suggestions).
• Cover and cook medium boneless, skinless chicken breast on LOW for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours (for other cuts of chicken, such as boneless things, or bone-in chicken breasts or thighs, and for cooking times on HIGH, see the blog post above).
• Check the chicken for doneness with an instant-read thermometer. (If you're using bone-in chicken, don't touch the thermometer to the bone.) The chicken should be 165 degrees F (I remove mine 5 to 10 degrees early, since the temperature will rise as it rests). Remove the chicken to a plate or cutting board and let rest 5 to 10 minutes so the juices can reincorporate (if you plan to shred the right in your slow cooker, you can let it rest there).
• When the chicken is cooked through, shred it using a hand mixer, two forks, or your fingers. Serve as desired.

CROCK POT CHICKEN ENCHILADA

CROCK POT CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

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.
