Ranch Chicken Enchilada Casserole {Crockpot}

Who doesn't love a good enchilada casserole recipe? I know, I pretty much pin every one I come across! Usually they're smothered in enchilada sauce, red or green, and baked with lots of cheese. Super yummy, am I right? This one is a bit different because it starts in the Crockpot. Plan ahead and throw the chicken in the pot before work, when you come home just assemble and bake - easy and absolutely delicious! 
This recipe in its easiest form uses packet taco and ranch seasoning mixes, but if you're watching your salt intake I definitely recommend replacing with homemade versions of both. 

Ranch Chicken Enchilada Casserole {Crockpot} adapted from Mom's Crazy Cooking
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 1 packet taco seasoning 1 packet ranch dressing mix 4 flour tortillas (burrito size) 1 cup ranch dressing 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese cilantro or parsley to garnish, if desired

Place chicken in slow cooker and sprinkle seasoning mixes over top. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours. Shred chicken with two forks and stir to evenly distribute juices and seasonings. In the bottom of a 9x13 baking pan, cover the bottom with two tortillas. Spread half of shredded chicken on tortillas, then 1/2 cup ranch dressing drizzled, and top with 1 cup shredded cheese. Repeat layers once more. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and lasagna is heated through. Serve with additional ranch dressing as desired.

Menu Plan Monday 5/20 - Last Week of School!

It may seem a bit early, but for the preschool crowd this is the last week of school! Which means that I need to GET ON THE BALL with planning activities and meet-ups this week for the summer. I've been trying to tell Silas that he won't be going to preschool again for a while, but I'm not quite sure he understands yet. I'm just so happy that he had such a great first experience at school and made some really great friends.
