Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 2 cups green enchilada sauce
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 oz cream cheese, cubed
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot.
  2. Pour the green enchilada sauce and chicken broth over the chicken.
  3. Add the green chilies, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender.
  5. Remove the chicken, shred it with two forks, and return it to the crock pot.
  6. Stir in the cream cheese and shredded cheese.
  7. Cover and cook for an additional 20–30 minutes until melted and creamy.
  8. Taste, adjust seasoning if needed, and serve topped with fresh cilantro if desired.

Notes

  • You can use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts for extra tenderness.
  • Add corn or white beans for more texture.
  • If the soup thickens too much, add a splash of chicken broth when reheating.
