Slow Cooker Enchilada Chicken

 

 This easy-peasy recipe is sure to become a family favorite. A bright and colorful dish that tastes totally delicious. Grab your slow cooker and get cooking! 

 

As I write this post, it’s the just about the first week of September which is also the first week of school here on Long Island.

 

It’s still nice and mild outside with a nice breeze but you can feel the change in the weather.

 

On that note, for me this means it’s time to get out my old friend, the handy dandy slow cooker

 

 Dust it off and plan some delicious, wholesome meals my family will love.

 

The meals have to be simple and easy to follow with few ingredients. No fuss but must be great tasting. I have some fussy eaters around here.

 

This new enchilada chicken is now on the top of my list for slow cooker weeknight meals. My family adored it when I made it this past week.

 

They already requested it for next week.

 

You’ll see in the photo I served this dish over riced cauliflower.

 

I bought a frozen packages for convenience and all the package should say is cauliflower. No added ingredients.

 

Riced cauliflower is a wonderful substitute for rice. The texture is very similar yet the carb content is much lower. 

 

Many people on a low carb or keto diet use riced cauliflower in many of their dishes. 

 

But, if you want to go the traditional way, use some brown or white rice. 

 

Give this recipe a try. It’s got the most beautiful colors and that’s very important when following a healthy eating plan. To eat the colors of the rainbow.
