    I've made enchiladas this way before, too, and they are AMAZING! Such a good flavor and actually a bit easier to prepare. Hope you all enjoy them too! :)

    Looks GREAT but it says stir in tomato and I do not see tomato in ingredients. Please edit and let us know what type and amount.

    I'm hazarding a guess that it might be one can of diced tomatos, since they go in everything :happy: But yeah it would be nice to know for sure...I think I'm gonna try to make this and see how it turns out...

    Sounds amazing!! I love the Greek yogurt substitute and will try it that way first. I too was wondering about the tomatoes but will either dice some fresh tomatoes or use Ro-Tel to give it a bit more spice. Keep bringing on the yummy healthy (and easy!!) recipes!!!

    The recipe I have calls for one medium diced tomato (fresh) and it really adds great flavor!

    Wow because every loves using chicken Soup in recipe, There are better ways to make chicken enchiladas which Don't use soup and a whole container of sour cream.
    Sure it's a "great" fast Recipe but seriously canned soup is just a yucky no no.

    Any cooks out there think this could be converted to a crock pot/slow cooker version?
    Like may not have to blend as much, just let it simmer?

    I really have no idea, and not totally trusting the wife to convert something, she likes clearly spelled out.

    But it sound great.

    Take the recipe and basically
    Cook chicken and shred. Mix soup, ], chile peppers,. Cut tortillas in wedges. Layer Crock Pot with sauce, tortillas, soup mix, chicken and cheese all the way to top, ending with cheese on top. Cover and cook on LOW for 5 to 7 hours.
