This recipe for Crock Pot Chicken Enchiladas takes one of our tried and true favorite casseroles and converts it into one of our favorite easy crock pot recipes!
We have made some version of these Chicken Enchiladas regularly for the last 15 years… ever since a family friend introduced us to them! However, it was only recently that I converted it into a crock pot recipe. Truth be told, I have been wanting to try it ever since I got my casserole crock.And, after I converted our Chili Cheese Casserole into a crock pot recipe, I knew I had to try it!
Crock Pot Chicken Enchiladas
Now I could call this recipe a double crock pot recipe as the cooked chicken I used in this recipe is actually from our favorite crock pot shredded chicken recipe. You don’t have to use that recipe to cook your chicken, any cooked chicken will work, however, we pretty much always keep it on hand, so that is what I tend to use.
You start by making your sauce and then spooning just enough on the bottom of your pan to keep your tortillas from sticking. Then you layer your tortillas, sauce, chicken, cheese, olives and repeat. In my casserole crock I made three layers because it was spread out. In a oval or circle crock pot, you may want to make additional layers.
My casserole was nice and bubbly around 2 hours on high. But, I would begin checking on it around 1 1/2 hours.

Crock Pot Recommendations
We loved using our 9 x13casserole crockfor this recipe, however it should work fine in a regular 5-6qt crock pot as long as you watch your cooking times closely the first time you try it. Psst… that should be a general rule of thumb when trying any new crock pot recipe.

Jen says Hi! Could I use red enchilada sauce? And do hamburger instead of chicken?
Also do the tortillas get soggy?Reply
- Aunt Lou says
We haven’t tried that but might give it a try. The tortillas are an ingredient, so they meld into the casserole rather than keeping the texture of burritos. Enjoy!

Has anybody tried this recipe with corn tortillas ? As a diabetic flour tortillas have a much worse impact than corn on my blood sugar … Besides we like the flavor better too. Thanks -Lynn
