Hey friends, with Superbowl around the corner, it's the right time to think about quick appetizers for Game Day. While I'm not into football, I like to make recipes for the occasion. While my kids are busy watching the game, I like to make easy appetizers for Gameday which are perfect for the occasion.

How to make Buffalo Chicken Enchilada Bites

This Buffalo Chicken Enchilada bite takes less than 30 minutes to prepare. If you're making it for a crowd, then I suggest making it ahead of time in the slow cooker. Find all the instructions below.

First, cook the chicken in the oven. I like to use Chicken Breasts for this recipe as they get cooked very quickly and are so easy to shred. Cook the Chicken breast in the oven at full power for 10 minutes with some water. Get them out, and shred them using two forks.

Second, toss the Chicken with Buffalo Sauce, Chipotle Adobo Sauce, Taco Seasoning, Enchilada Sauce, Salt & Pepper. Keep aside.

Third, to make the creamy Green Chili Enchilada Sauce, combine softened cream cheese with Old El Paso Green Chile Enchilada Sauce. You can put both of these in the oven and microwave on high for 3-4 minutes or just mix them in a skillet, put it on low heat, and stir until creamy and combined.

Fourth- Finally, toast the Tortillas and cut them into four equal halves. Place them in the muffin tin. Press it down, so that it holds a shape and you have a crevasse where you can put it in the filling.

Add the Shredded Chicken Mixture, followed by the Cheddar Cheese, Mozzarella Cheese, and finally the Creamy Green Chili Enchilada Sauce. Top with some more Cheddar & Mozzarella Cheese.

Pop it in the oven at broil mode for 5 minutes or just until the cheese melts and gets slightly brown on the top.

Serve with some hot sauce and chopped cilantro on top.

Making this in the Slow Cooker

To make this in the slow cooker, Toss the Chicken Breasts with Taco Seasoning, Buffalo Sauce, Salt & Pepper. Cook on high for 3 hours.

After 3 hours, shred the Chicken Breasts using two forks. Now, add the Old El Paso Mild Enchilada Sauce and the Chipotle Adobo Sauce. Stir to combine everything and cook for 30 minutes.

Other Alternatives to this recipe:

  • You can skip out on the Buffalo sauce and use Ranch Dressing instead if you want a creamy taste
  • You can cook the chicken in the slow cooker
  • You can cook the chicken in an Instant Pot
  • You can replace Cheddar Cheese Blend with Monterrey Jack or Colby Jack Cheese
