Chicken Enchiladas
Yield: 16 enchiladas, 8 servings
Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds skinless boneless chicken breast
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 teaspoons cumin powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon Mexican Spice Blend
1 red onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup frozen corn, thawed
5 whole green chilies, canned
4 chipotle chilies, canned
1 (28-ounce) can stewed tomatoes
1 cup Cheddar and Jack Cheeses, shredded
16 corn tortillas
1 1/2 cups enchilada sauce, canned
Garnish: chopped cilantro, chopped scallions, sour cream, chopped tomatoes
Preparation
Place chicken in crockpot with next ingredients (up to tortillas and enchilada sauce).
Simmer on low for 6 to 8 hours. Break apart chicken and stir. Then allow to cool 30-60 minutes.

To assemble:
Microwave tortillas on high for 30 seconds. This softens them and makes them more pliable. Coat the bottom of 2 (13 by 9-inch) pans with a ladle of enchilada sauce. Using a large shallow bowl, dip each tortilla in enchilada sauce to lightly coat. Spoon 1/4 cup chicken mixture in each tortilla. Fold over filling, place 8 enchiladas in each pan with seam side down. Top with remaining enchilada sauce and cheese.
Bake for 15 minutes in a preheated 350 degree oven until cheese melts. Garnish with cilantro, scallion, sour cream and chopped tomatoes before serving. Serve with Spanish rice and beans

Crockpot Boneless Breasts off Chicken Recipes
Mexican Chicken
Throw however many boneless skinless breasts you want into your Crockpot. You can start them from frozen if you want. Pour on a 12-oz. jar of your favorite LC salsa. Cook on Low 8 to 10 hours. Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon, turn Crockpot to High, and add a jar of Tostitos or Taco Bell Salsa con Queso. Mix well, put the lid back on and let it get hot, then put the chicken back in the sauce. It's so easy and so good!



Greek Style Chicken
I also do breasts or boneless thighs Greek style - put a single layer of chicken in the pot, drizzle on a little extra-virgin olive oil, just enough for each piece to have a bit; then sprinkle on garlic salt, freshly ground pepper, and dried crushed oregano; next drizzle on a little fresh or bottled lemon juice. If you have more chicken, repeat the layer again.

Cook on Low 8 hours or so.

Re: Looking for CHICKEN crockpot recipes

Tonight I made the italian herbed chicken using the McCormickl slow cooker spices. It calls for diced tomatoes, tomato paste, mushrooms, chicken parts and the spice packet. I served it over whole wheat angel hair tonight and it was incredible :)
