Tips:
- Prep the Ingredients: Chop the chicken, onion, and green chiles before starting the cooking process to save time.
- Use Quality Ingredients: Opt for fresh, flavorful ingredients to elevate the taste of the dish. Fresh green chiles and a good quality enchilada sauce make a world of difference.
- Control the Spice Level: If you prefer a milder dish, use milder green chiles or reduce the amount of cayenne pepper and chili powder.
- Don't Overcook the Chicken: Overcooked chicken can become dry and tough. Cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure it remains tender and juicy.
- Assemble Carefully: Layer the ingredients in the slow cooker carefully to ensure even cooking and prevent the dish from becoming mushy.
- Top with Cheese: A generous layer of cheese on top adds a golden-brown, crispy crust and extra flavor to the casserole.
