Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 16 ounces Green enchilada sauce
• 10.5 ounces Cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 8 pieces Corn tortillas
• 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro
• 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine green enchilada sauce, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well-mixed.

Step 3

Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker, ensuring the chicken is fully covered.

Step 4

Set the slow cooker to 'low' and cook for 4 hours, or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).

Step 5

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the sauce in the slow cooker and stir to combine.

Step 6

Cut the corn tortillas into quarters. These will act as the casserole layers.

Step 7

In a 6-quart or larger slow cooker, begin layering the casserole. Start with a thin layer of the chicken mixture, followed by a layer of tortilla pieces, and then a layer of shredded cheddar cheese. Repeat the layering process until all the ingredients are used, ending with a layer of cheese on top.

Step 8

Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for an additional 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Once cooked, sprinkle the top with chopped cilantro and green onions, if desired, for garnish.

Step 10

Serve the casserole hot and enjoy!
