Crockpot recipe for chicken enchilada soup
- Chicken
- Chicken broth
- Enchilada sauce
- Black beans
- Corn
- Cheese
- Tortilla chips
Basic directions
- Lay the chicken breasts on the bottom of the slow cooker (I have used fresh & frozen boneless breasts & either work great).
- Pour remaining ingredients on top of that (keep cheese/chips out for later).
- Turn slow cooker on high for 6-8 hrs., or if you put it in first thing in the morning & don’t eat ’til 5 or 6 leave it on low all day (make chicken smaller pieces if on low, cut breasts in half).
- About 30 min. before eating take chicken out and shred/cut into smaller pieces & put back in crockpot to soak up juices.
- Garnish with spicy jack cheese on top & tortilla strips if desired.
- Great hearty & healthy meal that cooks on it’s own, my favorite!!!

Crockpot Chicken Enchilada Soup Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 boneless chicken breasts skin removed
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 can red enchilada sauce 10 oz
- 1 can black beans 15 oz
- 1 bag frozen sweet kernel corn 10 oz
- 1 c spicy jack cheese
- 1 bag tortilla chips
Instructions
- Add all items to the slow cooker. You can use frozen chicken breasts too if that is all you have.
- Turn your crockpot to low and cook all day or at least for 6 hours (until chicken is cooked thru). If you don't have all day you can turn it on high and cook for about 4-5 hours, just make chicken pcs. smaller and not the whole breast so it cooks thru in time.
- Shred chicken about 30 min. before eating so it soaks up juices and serve with tortilla chips and add spicy jack cheese on top, or search beer bread on my blog and make that!

If you like it spicier then choose a hotter enchilada sauce, or if you don’t like it as spicy add mild sauce and add a bit more chicken broth to the mix. It is very versatile that way and a great dish to serve for a potluck too!

I use a little cumin and chili powder for my chili, depending on who is eating dinner at home that nightI use almost the same recipe with only ground beef, no the beans and other ingredients, for sloppy joes.
