Ingredients
-
2 -21/2 lb chicken boneless, without skin (approximately 4 large pieces)

1/2 cup bottled milk, half.
Creamy Enchilada Chicken: Instructions
-
Spray the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray so that it can be easily cleaned.
-
Put the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker in a single layer.
-
Spray the red enchilada sauce on the chicken and ensure that the chicken evenly gets covered.
-
Bake 4 to 6 hours on LOW or 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours on HIGH until the chicken is extremely tender and can easily be shredded with a fork. Not all slow cookers work the same, and therefore it is better to start checking it sooner.
-
After cooking the chicken, with two forks, shred the chicken right in the slow cooker into bite sized portions, combining it with enchilada sauce.
-
The shredded chicken and sauce are added with the cubed softened cream cheese and 1 1/2 cups of the shredded white cheese. Stir, pushing the cream cheese to the bottom with your spoon or spatula so that it becomes mixed into the sauce.
-
Cook and cover with LOW one more 15-20 minutes, until the cream cheese and the cheese melt completely and the sauce is smooth and creamy, and the slightest thickening. Blend once more to make a rich reddish-orange sauce.
-
Evenly sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of the shredded white cheese over the top of the creamy chicken mixture. Cover and leave it on WARM or LOW 5 to 10 minutes, until the cheese on top is liquefied and bubbly at the edges.
-
Stir the chicken softly in case you want it to have a swirled appearance with pools of melted cheese, and then serve hot in large quantities on rice, in a tortilla, or Serve it with a tortilla or over tortilla chips so you can dip them in.
