Tasty Chicken Enchilada Stoup

My fab friend Lindzee over at Cordon Pink came up with this incredible recipe.  I have stolen it and adapted it slightly to my fam’s tastebuds and wanted to share.  It is perfectly simple to cook and tastes INCREDIBLE!

Soupendous Chicken Enchilada Stoup: Serves 8-10

1 lb Skinless/Boneless Chicken breast chopped into 1” pieces
2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil
1 cup white onion diced
1 Green Pepper diced
1 Red Pepper diced
4 teaspoons of minced garlic
14.5oz can of Chopped Tomatoes
14.5oz can of Black Beans
½ Bag of Frozen Petite White Corn
14.5oz can of Red Enchilada Sauce
3 tsp Chipotle Chile Powder
2 tsp Chile Powder
1 cup of water
2 cups Jalapeño Cheese or Pepper Jack
½ cup of 2% Milk

Heat the oil in a large skillet.  Toss in the onion and garlic and saute for 2-3 minutes.  Add the chicken and peppers and cook until browned.  Throw the chicken mixture into the slow cooker on low heat.

Then add the tomatoes, black beans, corn, enchilada sauce, spices and water.  If you set your slow cooker to low, allow around 8 hours.  If you are in a time crunch, crank the heat up to high and let it cook for about 4 hours.  I have made this both ways and cannot tell a difference.  It is super yummy regardless.

Once you are about ready to serve, add the cheese then milk.  Stir and let it cook for about 10 more minutes.  Whirl around a final stir and enjoy!  Thank you Lindz for such a fab recipe!

PS- Don’t forget to make the bad boys below to go along with the stoup.  Hubby and I are addicted to them and they do not last more than 1 day at our house.  Yes people, I admit to eating 6 corn bread muffins in one day.  They are that good.

Jalapeno Cornbread Muffins

1 box of Jiffy Cornbread muffin mix 
2 cups shredded Jalapeño Cheese
1 egg
1/3 cup milk (I have used skim and 2%)
1.5 Tablespoons of Honey
Pinch of Kosher Salt

Mix all ingredients together and pour into your favorite size muffin tin.  I have tried making them in all sizes, mini-normal-jumbo, and found that the normal muffin size works best for my fam.  Bake according to the instructions on the box. Yum.
