The Best Chicken Enchilada Chili

Chicken Enchilada Chili is an easy Crock-Pot meal. It is filled with chicken, black beans, corn, enchilada sauce and much more.

This has got to be one of my all time favorite meals… and that is saying a lot because I love all food! It is ridiculously easy and is packed with so much flavor! It is very filling too which is a huge bonus!

My family likes to eat this by dipping tortilla chips into it. It makes the meal more filling which I really like too. If you don’t want to do that, this is great by itself as a freestanding chili dish too.

This is such a great cold weather meal because it just screams comfort food. You won’t be disappointed if you make this so go try it! Then, let us know how it turned out and how you and your family enjoyed this Chicken Enchilada Chili recipe.

How to Make Chicken Enchilada Chili:

To make this Chicken Enchilada Chili you will start by combining the corn, beans, enchilada sauce, garlic, seasonings and chicken in a Crock-Pot. (Below is the Crock-Pot I have been using for years and I still love it!)

You will let all of those ingredients cook for either four or eight hours. After the time is up, you will shred the chicken and add in the cheese. That’s it! Now you can enjoy your meal.

I would strongly suggest adding in a dollop of sour cream to your bowl when you eat it. It makes this meal even more delicious in my opinion, because, it makes this chili creamy.
