Lisa's Chicken Enchiladas

I know this looks like it's crazy but it's not. I just copied and pasted it here so it isn't all formated very well. But these were DELICIOUS!

It makes a bunch, like 2 9x13 pans. You can freeze half if you want. I just kinda throw stuff together & it doesn't always turn out the exact same, but it is always good! =)
Chicken Enchiladas:
• Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or tenders (approx 2 breasts. You will want to use more if you are using tenders because they are smaller)
• Fresh garlic to flavor the chicken while cooking
• 1 can cream of chicken soup
• Approx 1-2lbs cheese (depending on how cheesy you want it. I use Colby jack)
• Maybe 4-6oz sour cream
• ½ pkg cream cheese
• 1 can red Old El Paso enchilada sauce (you can use 2cans of the red. My boys don’t like it too spicy, so they eat it when I use 2cans. Or one of the large cans works too. I have not found the red one at Winco, I usually buy it at Albertsons)
• 1 can green Old El Paso enchilada sauce
• Corn tortillas (2 16oz pkgs)
• Salt & Pepper to taste
Place the chicken in the crock pot along with the garlic (I do not add any liquid to the chicken. You can put as much or as little garlic as you like. You can also use garlic powder~I prefer fresh and lots of it!) If chicken is frozen, cook on high for about 4-5 hours, or on low for maybe 6-8 hours…depending on you crock pot. Just make sure you can shred it with a fork & it’s not pink. (You could also dice up the chicken & brown in a pan on the stove) Once the chicken is done, shred it with a fork & combine, cream of chicken soup, cream cheese, sour cream (to taste) and a little bit of the cheese.
In a separate bowl, combine the two cans of enchilada sauce. Heat oven to 350 deg, Pour a little of the sauce on the bottom of your pan, and warm your tortillas in the microwave, in the original sealed pkg for 3min per pkg(This makes it easy to roll them)) Once warmed, start filling them with the chicken filling & roll them up, place seam side down in the pan on top of the sauce. Then layer with cheese & more sauce. You can keep layering as much as you want, or just one layer & use 2 pans. Then bake for aprrox 30min, until cheese is melted & the rest is warm or hot. Serve & enjoy! I also usually put sour cream on top of mine when I eat them!
