A few weekends ago I had a craving for white chicken enchiladas. I didn’t have a go-to recipe to make but I have been lucky enough to have two friends bring me their homemade white chicken enchiladas on various occasions. Both meals were amazing so naturally I texted them both, got their recipes and combined them. Then I tweaked the recipe a bit and boom…
The slow cooked chicken was so amazing that I could have stopped here and just made chicken tacos. But I kept going! Also, if you’re low on time you can shred a rotisserie chicken for this step instead.
THIS SEASONING. Oh my gosh, y’all. It’s incredible. Just enough salt and just a tad bit of spice.
You can substitute corn tortillas for flour if you prefer. I used low carb flour tortillas.
SO GOOD. The recipe yields about 10 enchiladas so I cooked one batch and froze the other for another night.
And you know what this meal is perfect for? Your freezer, your neighbor, your new mama friend, your co-worker going through a difficult time or anyone really.

YUM! Saving this!!
This looks so good! Any substitute for the seasoning? We are stationed in Spain and have no access to Trader Joe's (it's terrible, I know)!
Yum. http://www.rsrue.blogspot.com
SO good!!
Yum! I'll have to try those and that seasoning! I made chicken tacos last night from a recipe I found on Pinterest. Okay….easiest thing ever for shredding chicken and I would've never thought about it. After the chicken is cooked, put it directly into a mixing bowl and use your hand mixer on low to shred the chicken. I was skeptical, but it worked!! So much easier than doing it with two forks. Am I the only one who didn't know about this???? #tipoftheday 🙂
I recently discovered this trick too! I use my kitchen-aid mixer and it's the best thing ever!!
Mmmm soo good! And rather easy too 🙂 Perfect for a week night dinnerJustine @ Charm City Ciemny'swww.lifeasabaltimoregirl.blogspot.com
Hmm, you had me at slow cooked chicken and done! Saving for later!!!!!
I recently did this and used the beaters right in my crockpot. No other dish to wash. Win!!
Do we add water or any juices to the slow cooker??? :/
How long do you bake after freezing?
