Food, football, and fall bring them to the table, y’all. This Chicken Enchilada Chili is sure to be a crowd pleaser. It’s the perfect bowl of savory goodness when you’re watching the big game or just enjoying fall. Don’t forget about taco Tuesday because this recipe is a great addition to those easy weeknights.

Easy Peasy Pleasy Tips
- I used 2–10-ounce cans of green enchilada sauce.
- 2 pounds of chicken breast worked great for this recipe, and I left them whole. The slow cooker will cook them just right without cutting them up.
- I love cumin, so I added a tablespoon rather than a teaspoon. I also added some chicken bouillon for a deeper chicken flavor.
- There are many types of canned, flavored diced tomatoes, so add in your favorites. I used chili flavored.
- This recipe is so versatile that you can add in your favorite Tex-Mex flavors. Once it’s done cooking, give it a taste and add in salt and pepper and your favorite seasonings to your liking.
