Slow cooker, green chili, cheesy, enchilada casserole

Note: Forgive the long title. It was dictated to me by my wife. Originally found on Facebook, Kathy has altered the recipe extensively. Enjoy.

  • 6-8 boneless, skinless chicken breast tenderloins; adjust quantities to your needs
  • 1 PKG Lowery’s Taco Seasoning
  • 1 can Hatch green chili sauce (substitute red, if you prefer)
  • 1 small can Hatch chopped green chilies
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, chopped (remember, we use elephant garlic; if you are using regular cloves, add accordingly)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 8-oz. PKG Colby Jack, shredded (feel free to substitute a cheese of your choice)
  • 1 10-count PKG corn tortillas, cut into strips
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth

Directions

  • Place chicken into slow cooker
  • Sprinkle taco seasoning over chicken
  • Add onion, green chilies and garlic
  • Pour enchilada sauce and broth over chicken
  • Set slow cooker for 8 hours and enjoy the aroma
  • At 8 hours, shred chicken (use two forks and pull apart)
  • Add tortilla strips and half the cheese, mixing well
  • Top with remaining cheese and cook 40 more minutes

Serve with your favorite Mexican sides, i.e., guacamole, Spanish rice, green-chili hominy, refried beans, charro beans, etc.
