CROCK POT SHREDDED CHICKEN ENCHILADAS



Crock Pot Shredded Chicken Enchiladas image

This is a mixture of a bunch of different recipes that I have found that works best for me. The chicken comes out flavorful and the enchiladas are crispy and cheesy. What more can you ask for? Most of the time listed is the slow cooking time so there really isnt much work to do. Just throw it all in the crockpot and cook. I don't really measure, I kind of do things by eye, so the ingredients listed below are approximate.You will find that the chicken pretty much shreds itself! I love them, enjoy!
