Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups rotisserie chicken shredded OR 2 boneless, skinless, frozen chicken breast
  • 2 cans cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1 10 oz can Green Enchilada Sauce
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can Whole corn , undrained
  • 1 can green chili peppers
  • 4 Tablespoon dried onion flakes
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon coarse black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 2 Tablespoon chopped cilantro
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheese sour cream, and chopped fresh cilantro for garnish

Quesadillas

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • butter
  • 3 cups grated cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

  • In your slow cooker, place all the above-mentioned ingredients. Stir to combine. Note: Do not add sour cream if using frozen chicken breast until the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • Cover and cook on low for 4–6 hours in the slow cooker. If making it with frozen chicken breast, cook 6–8 hours on low. Make sure to shred the chicken after cooking.
  • Prepare quesadillas as sour cream heats up in soup.
  • Butter flour tortillas on one side.
  • Heat a large skillet, or large electric griddle, over medium heat. Lay tortilla flat, butter side down. Sprinkle ½ a cup of cheese on each tortilla. Fold tortilla over cheese. Grill until golden and flip and cook the other side. Cut into quarters.
  • Serve soup in bowls. Garnish with cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and sprinkle with more fresh cilantro. Serve with warm crispy quesadillas.

Notes

Additional Cooking Instructions:
If making on the stovetop, add all the ingredients and cook on low for one hour, stirring occasionally.
If making in an Instant Pot, set it to a pre-programmed soup setting once all the ingredients have been added to the pot. You can make it with either rotisserie chicken, or frozen chicken.
