You can make the best, yet hardest part of an enchilada recipe right in the slow cooker and then prepare the rest later.

For this recipe you will make slow cooker enchilada filling, and then make up the actual enchiladas with the shell in the oven. But, by using the slow cooker you can make sure to have extremely flavorful chicken enchiladas.

This is a great twist on a normal slow cooker chicken recipe. It is not just your everyday chicken breast recipe. Rather it turns into creamy and cheesy chicken enchiladas that everyone loves.

Since the slow cooker does a lot of the work for this recipe, you can have time to make some tasty dishes to go with it like our delicious Chili’s Copycat Salsa recipe or Loaded Sweet Pork Sheet Pan Nachos are always fun! Mexican Street Corn Salad is always a good option too!

Next, you are going to need to pour the chicken broth over top of the chicken, trying to be careful to not take all of the seasoning off the chicken.

Now, you need to set the timer to cook on low for 3-4 hours.

When the chicken is done cooking in the slow cooker, remove it and shred the chichen with forks or with a hand mixer.

Then, get out a small bowl and mix together the salsa and ranch dressing until they are well combined.

Then pull out your 9×13 inch pan and spray it with nonstick cooking spray and then spread a thin layer of the ranch salsa mixture on the bottom of the pan.

Now, begin assembling the enchiladas by spreading 2-3 tablespoons of the ranch salsa dressing on the tortilla and then add on top the shredded chicken and shredded cheese.

Then roll up the tortilla and place it seam side down in the baking pan.

Continue this for all of the tortilla shells until the pan is filled.
