  • 6-8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts, if preferred)
  • 1 (10-ounce) can enchilada sauce + 1 (14-ounce) can enchilada sauce
  • 1 (8-ounce) can green chilis
  • ½ medium onion, diced
  • 8 (10-inch) flour tortillas
  • 12 ounces Monterrey Jack cheese, grated
  • 2 green onions, chopped

 Directions

1. Spray slow cooker insert with non-stick cooking spray. Add chicken to slow cooker insert and pour 1 can of enchilada sauce over the chicken.
