Crockpot Enchilada Chicken

Photobucket

Normally what I do when I cook enchilada is - put some chicken in a pot with some chicken broth and simmer until cooked. Then when its done, I just shred it with a fork, pour enchilada sauce over the top.

I thought I would try this to see if it was easier. It was a lot easier. The chicken just fell apart when I touched it, so I didnt really have to do anything to it. It tasted the same too.

Ingredients
2 chicken breasts - frozen
1 large can enchilada sauce
1 can diced tomatoes

1. Put chicken in crockpot pour enchilada sauce and tomatoes over the top
2. Set on low for 4 hours
