Crack chicken enchiladas

You’ll need:
4 boneless chicken breast
4 slices bacon crumbled or bought real bacon pieces
1 pack dry ranch dressing packet
1 8 oz pack cream cheese
1/2 cup Colby jack cheese shredded
(To do this as a separate meal you can check crack pot chicken sandwiches)

Add to leftover chicken:
3 corn on the cob ears (grilled)
1 lb grated cheese your choice
16 corn tortillas
1- 28 oz can green enchilada sauce

Okay so you can make the shredded chicken with the cream cheese, cheese, ranch and bacon with half the cheese within the week prior. Just cook chicken and shred. Then add in the cream cheese, ranch packet, the chicken stock from cooking the chicken, and bacon bites and mix. Heat until all melted together and serve in buns for a yummy sandwich.
We had corn on the cob this week also so had left overs we had made on the grill and charred. So I just shaved off the kernels and added to the left over chicken mix.
To assemble chicken enchiladas just take your leftover crack chicken and shaved corn and throw together. Heat in microwave so it is soft. Heat oven to 350. In a 9 by 13 inch pan pour a small amount of the green enchilada sauce then place 5-6 tortillas on the bottom of the pan, add a layer of the chicken and corn mix and then a little more of the green sauce, with a thin layer of shredded cheese. Repeat this until you have 3 layers leaving the meat, sauce and cheese layer on top. Place in oven and bake for 30 minutes until top of cheese is golden brown and the sauce is bubbling On sides. Top with cilantro, avocado, sour cream and salsa if you would like!
