Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Stuffed Peppers

My mom's 29th* birthday was last week and I went over to make dinner for her. When I was brainstorming with Tammy what to make we came up with this idea. I have always found stuffed peppers to be so bland and wanted to find a way to spice them up a bit. The amount of flavor in these was perfect. If you want a little more spice top with a little Tabasco. I originally calculated this recipe for a whole pepper (both sides) was a serving but after eating I found that 1 stuffed pepper with a side was more than enough.

Ingredients

  • 15 oz can Enchilada Sauce
  • 2 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 1 Flour Tortilla, Chopped
  • 1 Large Spanish Onion, Chopped
  • 1 c Frozen Corn, (I used Roundys, Steam n' Serve Fire Roasted Super Sweet Corn from Mariano's)
  • 1/4 c Cilantro, Chopped Finely
  • 2 Garlic Cloves, Minced
  • 4 Large Poblano Peppers
  • 1/2 c Shredded Reduced-Fat Mexican Cheese
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced thin

Directions

  1. Place the frozen Chicken and Enchilada Sauce in the Slow Cooker and cook on low for 4 hours.
  2. Heat oven to 350 degrees
  3. Shred Chicken with two forks and combine with Sauce, Tortilla, Onion, Corn, Cilantro and Garlic.
  4. Fill each Pepper with the Chicken mixture and top with Cheese.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes
  6. Top with Avocado Slices and Enjoy!
I tried these with Poblano and Green Pepper.
The Poblanos were much better but in a pinch the
Green Peppers were still very flavorful.
Ready to serve!
