  • Total Time: 7 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 6-8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds)
  • 1 can (10 oz) red enchilada sauce
  • 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (12 oz) corn, drained
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 package (8 oz) tortilla chips, slightly crushed
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the Crock-Pot. Sprinkle with the taco seasoning, and pour the red enchilada sauce and diced green chilies over the chicken.
  2. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  3. Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the Crock-Pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the Crock-Pot.
  4. Stir in the black beans, corn, and diced onion into the Crock-Pot with the chicken. Mix everything well to combine.
  5. Crush the tortilla chips and sprinkle a layer on top of the chicken and veggie mixture. Then, add half of the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of sour cream on top of the cheese layer, and then top with the remaining cheese.
  7. Cover and cook on low for an additional 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Once the casserole is hot and bubbly, garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, and serve with extra tortilla chips or a side salad.

Notes

You can use frozen chicken breasts in the Crock-Pot—just add an extra 1-2 hours of cooking time if needed.
