1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
0.5 tsp salt
0.25 tsp pepper
2 tsp chili powder
0.5 tsp garlic powder
0.5 tsp onion powder

Instructions

Preparation Steps

Add the chicken breasts to the slow cooker. Sprinkle the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder over the chicken. Add the diced onion and poblano pepper. Pour the green enchilada sauce over the top.
Cover and cook for 6 to 8 hours on the low setting.
When the cooking time is done, shred the chicken with two forks right in the slow cooker. Add the sour cream, half a cup of the cheddar cheese, and the green onion. Stir well to combine. Add the hot cooked white rice and stir again. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Place the lid back on and cook for 15 more minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted. Serve hot and enjoy!
