One of my best friends, Jennell, made these delectable chicken enchiladas when we were in college and I have been entertaining company with them for years. They are super easy (thank you Mr. Crock Pot) and will leave your guests happy and coming back for more.
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (I highly recommend fresh, local chicken)
2 4-oz cans fire roasted green chilis
8 oz low sodium chicken or veggie broth
4 oz lowfat cream cheese
1 tablespoon freshly ground pepper
Put all ingredients in the crock pot and cook on low for 6-7 hours. Shred chicken when done and add more broth if necessary.
You will also need:
10 whole wheat tortillas
2 cups shredded cheese (I use cheddar but mozzarella or monetary jack would work too)
8 oz enchilada sauce (I really like the Chipotle or Fire Roasted Sauce from Kroger)
Coat a 10 x 13 glass pan with cooking spray and begin assembling enchiladas. To assemble put one ladle of chicken mixture and a handful of cheddar on each tortilla and roll up. Cover tortillas with enchilada sauce and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
OK you won Shane over with this recipe and I can't wait to make them!!!
