Slow Cooker Chicken Enchiladas

These easy Slow-Cooker Chicken Enchiladas make the perfect family dinner on busy nights. With only seven ingredients, you will have a delicious meal. By just changing a few ingredients, I have made this a healthy low-carb Chicken Enchilada recipe. I also make this same recipe in my Instant Pot.

Low Carb

This recipe can be made low-carb using Whole wheat Tortilla Carb Balance burrito-size wraps. There are only 8g of net carbs per serving, so if you like to eat low-carb, this is for you. Just look for any low-carb wrap at your local grocery store. They taste just as good if you use regular tortilla wraps instead. I have used both in this recipe.

Greek Yogurt

Using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream makes this recipe healthy. My kids can’t even tell the difference. I don’t even buy sour cream anymore. Give it a try. This also adds creaminess to the chicken. If you prefer sour cream, use it instead.

Chicken Breast

Chicken breast is an excellent source of lean protein. I eat chicken just about every day.

Taco Seasoning

If you are in a hurry, you can use a packet of 1 oz. taco seasoning.

Homemade Taco Seasoning

Homemade Taco seasoning is easy to make and healthier than the store-bought kind. It only takes a few minutes to make, and I store mine in a glass spice jar.

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 onion powder
• 1/4 crushed red pepper flakes
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin

Mix chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Store in a glass seasoning jar. 

Doesn’t this look delicious? It also makes great leftovers.
