Make enchilada casserole in the crockpot with salsa and cream cheese! A fun unique recipe.
Ingredients
1 1/2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts
24 oz. jar pace picante mild salsa (this is the huge jar)
8 oz. pkg. cream cheese
16 oz. pkg. yellow corn tortillas ( (cut these into strips) it is 4 cups total after cut if you can't find the one-pound package.)
3 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (divided)
3.8 oz. can black olives (drained and divided)
Method
1
Add the chicken to the bottom of your slow cooker. Pour over the salsa. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours.
2
Plop the cream cheese on top of the chicken. Cover for about 10 minutes to let it get soft. Meanwhile I take this time to shred the cheese and cut up the tortillas.
3
Shred the chicken with 2 forks right in the slow cooker. Stir the chicken, salsa and cream cheese together.
4
Add the tortilla strips, 1 cup of cheese and 1/2 of the can of olives, stir. Flatten out this mixture. And wipe down the messy sides of the slow cooker with a paper towel. Top with remaining cheese and olives.
5
Cover and cook on HIGH for 45 more minutes or until the casserole is very hot in the center.
