Ingredients
2 half chicken breasts
1 (16 ounce) jar red enchilada sauce
1 (4 ounce) can green chile peppers
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, reduced fat
6 medium sprouted tortillas
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place chicken breast on the bone, with skin, in a covered baking dish. Bake until juices run clear when pierced with a fork, after about 45 minutes. Chicken should have reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Allow to cool. Remove skin and bones, discard. Shred chicken or cut into bite-sized cubes.
- In a medium mixing bowl add chicken, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, black pepper, and salt to taste. Add to seasoned chicken: green chile peppers, 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce, and 1 cup cheese. Mix well. Place 1/2 cup chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla.
- Leave about 2″ in the bottom without filling and fold up. Continue until all tortillas are filled.
- Lightly spray the bottom and the sides of the slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.
- Lay enchiladas seam side down in the slow cooker, add a little of the sauce above each layer as you stack them. There should be 2 layers of 3 or 3 layers of 2, depending on the size of your slow cooker.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the enchiladas. Cover and cook on low 3 to 4 hours, or until hot and bubbly. Cut between each enchilada, and carefully remove them, one at a time, with a large spatula. Pour liquid from slow cooker over enchiladas and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Garnish avocados and greek yogurt (substation for sour cream).
