Normally on a Sunday, I like to cook meals that involves more time since I don't have time forthat kind of cooking during the week. BUT...we had a lot going on yesterday so I decided to give this crockpot chicken enchilada soup recipe a try! It was yummy, I brought it over to my sisters house and she prepared a tasty salad to go with it and bread and butter. I'd say overall it would be a good, hearty weeknight meal! I'd make it again, but might try to make a few adjustments. We added Tapatio and a blend of cheddar and monterey jack cheese to the soup. (We like things spicy in our household!)
INGREDIENTS:
3 TBSP butter
3TBSP flour
1/2 C chicken broth
2 C milk
1 can (15oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (14.5oz) Rotel diced tomatoes and jalapenos
1 package (10oz) frozen corn
1/2 C onion, chopped
1/2 C bell pepper, diced
1 can (10oz) enchilada sauce
2 whole chicken breasts
1 C shredded monterey jack cheese
DIRECTIONS:
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in flour; keep stirring until smooth and bubbly. Remove from heat and add the chicken broth and 1/2 cup milk, a little at a time, stirring to keep smooth. Return to heat. Bring sauce to a gentle boil; cook, stirring constantly, until it thickens.
In a crockpot, combine drained beans, tomatoes, corn, onion, and bell pepper. Place 2 chicken breasts on top of the mixture.
In a large bowl, whisk together the enchilada sauce and chicken broth mixture. Gradually whisk in remaining milk until smooth. Pour sauce mixture over ingredients in cooker. Cover; cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours.
Remove chicken and cut or shread into bite-sized pieces. Add chicken back into the soup. Top with cheese and serve. The soup can also be topped with avocado, sour cream, or crushed tortilla chips!
