Smoked Chicken Enchiladas!

Smoked Chicken Enchiladas!

This recipe is incredibly simple, leveraging a slow cooker and a short cook on the Green Mountain for added smoke flavor.  Stuffed inside the simplicity is a cheesy, creamy, gooey and smoky deliciousness you won’t believe until you taste it!  On top of that, it’s on the lighter side, low in fat and calories.  Hope you enjoy!

Ingredients:

  • 4lbs of whole chicken breasts
  • 1 – 28oz can of Green Chili Enchilada Sauce
  • 1 – 15oz can of Cream Style Sweet Corn
  • 2 – 10oz cans of Rotel’s Original
  • 1 – 4.5oz can of chopped green chilies
  • 1 – 8oz package of cream cheese
  • 8oz shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 8oz shredded white cheddar cheese
  • 8″ tortillas (up to 24, depending on how many you make).
  • You could also use 12″ tortillas and a larger pan / larger enchilada.

Filling Directions:

  • Line a slow cooker / crock pot with a plastic liner, for easy cleanup when finished
  • Place all the chicken breasts into the bottom of the slow cooker
  • Pour the Green Chili Enchilada sauce on top of the chicken
  • Pour the can of cream style corn into the slow cooker
  • Add the Rotel’s and chopped green chilies
  • Finally, add the cream cheese to the slow cooker, in table spoon sized chunks for better melt
  • Turn the slow cooker on high and cook 6-8 hours until done

Build the enchiladas:

  • Preheat the GMG Davy Crockett (or another smoker) to 350 degrees
  • Using tongs, remove the chicken breasts from the mixture and place into a large bowl
  • Shred the chicken to your liking
  • Add the shredded chicken back to the slow cooker and stir well
  • Using a half sized steam pan, put some of the enchilada filling into the pan and spread evenly along the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking
  • Fill each tortilla with filling, top with a little of each cheese, roll the tortilla up and place in the pan
  • Repeat until the pan is full – 8 enchiladas or so
  • You can fill 2-3 pans with this amount of filling, depending on how much you put in each
  • Cook pans of enchiladas for 1 hour, rotating half way.  If you put the enchiladas in the refrigerator, the cook may take up to 90 minutes.
