Ingredients

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 (10.5 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup
2 (4.5 ounce) cans chopped green chiles
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cumin
1½ cup cheddar cheese shredded
1½ cups sour cream

Instructions

Add chicken to the bottom of a 6-quart crock pot.
In a bowl, add cream of chicken soup, green chiles, black pepper, garlic powder, salt, and ground cumin. Mix until well combined and pour over the chicken.
Cook on high for 2 ½ to 3 ½ hours or on low for 4 to 5 hours.
Remove chicken and shred with two forks. Add the shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, and sour cream to the crock pot. Toss to coat and continue to cook for 30 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Serve over rice, burrito bowls, or use as a filling for tacos, enchiladas, and burritos.

Notes

Shred the chicken while it’s still warm to ensure it soaks up all the creamy sauce.
Combine the spices, cream of chicken soup, and green chiles thoroughly before adding to the crock pot for an even flavor throughout
Check the chicken toward the end of cooking to prevent overcooking and keep it tender.
Stir in the cheese and sour cream at the very end to create a rich, creamy texture without curdling.
