This is a quick and easy way to cook chicken in the crockpot. I seen this over on pinterest and it got rave reviews from people who made it.

Pour in broth, cover & cook on high 3–4 hours or until chicken easily pulls apart. Pour 2 cups of chicken broth from crockpot into saucepan. Discard remaining liquid. Add gravy packets to broth and whisk well. Simmer on low to thicken. Remove chicken from crockpot and shred into large pieces. Serve with the gravy over the chicken.

Chicken Tortilla Casserole

This is super easy to make and a great meal. I adapted the recipe for my families liking. The original recipe was from Trisha Yearwood.

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts - or rotissire chicken
Salt
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 cup canned green chiles, chopped and drained
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Cooking spray
Twenty-four 6-inch corn tortillas
3 cups shredded Cheddar
Directions
Add the chicken to a large stockpot, cover with water and add a large pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 30 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside to cool. When cool enough to handle, shred the chicken and set aside. Reserve 2 1/3 cups of the broth
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 13- by 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

In a large saucepan, combine 2 1/3 cups of the reserved broth, the cream of chicken soup, green chiles, onions, garlic, sour cream, salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat.

Spread 1 cup of the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Arrange a layer of 6 tortillas over the mixture, and then top with 1 cup shredded chicken and 1/2 cup of the Cheddar. Repeat this layer three more times, ending with cheese. Spread any remaining mixture over the cheese. Make sure all of the tortillas are covered or they will get very hard during baking. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.

Sprinkle the cheese on top and bake at 375 for 10 minutes!!!!!!
