Chipotle Chicken Enchiladas

  1. To Cook Chicken:
  2. Place chicken breasts along with the sliced onion, garlic and chicken stock into a 4-qt slow cooker.
  3. Cook on LOW for ~2-3 hours, until chicken is tender and easily shredded.
  4. Once chicken is done (cooked through and tender), transfer chicken and onions from the slow cooker to a large mixing bowl.
  5. Shred chicken with two forks.
  6. Using a food processor, blend together the cream cheese, green chilies, tomatillo salsa, 2 chipotle peppers and salt.
  7. Stir this mixture along with 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese in with the shredded chicken and onions.
  8. Taste for seasoning and add more salt if desired.
  9. Enchilada Sauce:
  10. Combine the can of enchilada sauce and the 2 remaining chipotle peppers in a food processor (or blender) and process until the peppers are blended into the sauce.
  11. Set aside in a large, shallow bowl or pie plate.
  12. To Assemble:
  13. Dip a corn tortilla into the enchilada sauce, coating both sides.
  14. Move the tortilla into a 9x13 baking dish.
  15. Spoon the chicken mixture (~2 Tbsp) onto the tortilla, line up in the middle of the tortilla, then roll the tortilla and place seam-down in the baking dish.
  16. Continue making enchiladas until the baking dish is full (I got 2 rows of 6 with two extras on the end).
  17. Spoon any extra enchilada sauce over the enchiladas.
  18. Spread the remaining 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar or jack cheese over the enchiladas.
  19. Bake at 350F for about 25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  20. Allow to cool 5 minutes before serving.
  21. * The number of chicken breasts can vary, use 2 if they are very large and 4 if theyre running small.
  22. 3 is for an average size breast.
  23. ** The number of chipotle peppers can be adjusted according to desired heat level, and also according to the size and brand of chipotle peppers.
  24. Some are hotter than others!
