Prep time: 10 MinCook time: 4 H & 10 MTotal time: 4 H & 20 M

Ingredients

• 2 (28) oz. cans Red Enchilada Sauce
• 2 lbs. Chicken Breasts (approximately 4 chicken breasts)
• 4 oz. can Fire-Roasted Green Chiles
• 1/2 tsp. Chili Powder
• 1/2 tsp. Ground Cumin
• 1/2 tsp. Ground Oregano
• Salt & Pepper to taste
• 12 oz. Sour Cream
• 1 1/2 cups Cheddar Cheese, shredded

Instructions

1. Place the red enchilada sauce, green chiles, chili powder, ground cumin, ground oregano, salt and pepper into a crockpot. Stir to combine.
2. Place the chicken breasts on top of sauce. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6-8 hours.
3. Cook rotini according to package directions, do not over cook.
4. Remove lid from crockpot. Using a hand-blender (preferrably one with soft, flex-edge beaters like the one below), on low speed, shred the chicken right in the crockpot with the sauce! Be careful for splatters as the sauce will be hot.
