Notes
- To prepare using uncooked chicken: Place 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the insert of your slow cooker. Pour enchilada sauce over the top of the chicken, cover and cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours or high heat for 3 to 4 hours (or until internal temp of 165 degrees F is reached and chicken is fully cooked). Shred chicken using 2 forks (no need to remove from slow cooker). Add softened cream cheese and shredded cheese and stir to combine. Cover and cook an additional 30 minutes on low heat, or until cheese is melted.
