Why Make Chicken Enchiladas in a Slow Cooker / Crockpot

Here are some reasons why you should use a slow cooker for your next enchilada night:

1. One of the biggest advantages of using a slow cooker is the ease it brings to meal preparation. Simply add your ingredients – chicken, spices, and sauce into the pot and let it do the work while you go about your day. This “set it and forget it” approach is perfect for busy families or anyone looking to simplify their cooking routine.

2. Slow cooking allows the chicken to become incredibly tender as it simmers in a rich enchilada sauce. The low and slow method enhances the flavours, resulting in juicy, shredded chicken that’s bursting with taste.

3. Slow cooker chicken enchiladas are ideal for meal prep. You can prepare them in advance, making them an excellent choice for busy weeknights or when hosting friends and family. Just set up your crockpot in the morning, and you’ll have a delicious dinner waiting for you by evening.

4. With the slow cooker, you can easily adapt your enchiladas to suit your dietary preferences or what’s available in your pantry. Whether you prefer black beans, corn, or extra veggies, you can toss them in without any fuss.

5. Cooking everything in one pot means less mess to deal with afterward. After enjoying your meal, all you need to clean is the slow cooker insert… no multiple pans or baking dishes to scrub!

6. Slow cooker chicken enchiladas make fantastic leftovers. The flavours deepen overnight, making them even more delicious the next day.
