SLOW COOKER GREEN CHILE CHICKEN AND RICE CASSEROLE

Hello! I am very excited to share this new recipe with you today. A friend on YouTube, Cooking with Kory asked if I wanted to make a crock pot casserole with a few other other YouTubers today and of course I had to say yes. Search #crockpotcasserole on YouTube and see what everoone else has made.

This recipe has the flavors of green chile chicken enchiladas but I used rice instead of tortillas. One of my mom’s signature dishes was green chile enchiladas which was my inspiration for this.-

Ingredients

1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

2 tsp. chili powder

1/2 tsp. garlic

powder

1/2 tsp. onion powder

1 small white onion, diced

1 poblano pepper, diced (about 1/2 cup)

19 oz. can green enchilada sauce

Add these ingredients at the end:

1 cup sour cream

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided

1/4 cup green onion

3 cups hot cooked white rice

Slow Cooker Size:

6 quart or larger

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Add the chicken breasts to the slow cooker. Sprinkle over the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and chili powder over the chicken. Add the onion, poblano pepper. Pour over the enchilada sauce.

Cover and cook for 6-8 hours on the low setting.

When the cooking time is done, shred the chicken with two forks. Add the sour cream, half cup of the cheese and the green onion. Stir. Add the cooked rice and stir. Sprinkle over the remaining cheese.

Place the lid back on and cook for 15 more minutes or until the cheese is melted. If your rice has cooled and not hot, you will need to cook longer about 45 minutes on high.
