Crockpot Chicken Enchilada Casserole

This deconstructed casserole version makes it easy to get all the same flavors and textures without the added time in the kitchen! This is very customizable too.

You can swap for chicken thighs, go for a red or a green enchilada sauce, and add any topping you like. I’ve frozen this recipe into single serve portions and it reheats nicely, so if you need a meal prep item for later, this is it!
