Steps:
- Place the chicken breasts in a slow cooker along with one can of enchilada sauce. Cook on High until tender and no longer pink, about 3 hours. Shred using two forks and return to the slow cooker.
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Pour the remaining can of enchilada sauce into a shallow dish. Dip tortillas in the sauce; fill each with 1/3 cup shredded chicken, a sprinkle of Mexican style cheese, and a bit of grated zucchini. Roll up and place in the prepared baking dish, seam side down. Top enchiladas with any leftover sauce and remaining cheese.
- Cover dish and bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove cover; continue to bake until the cheese has melted, and enchiladas are hot, about 10 additional minutes.

Tips:
- Use fresh green chiles. Fresh green chiles have a brighter flavor and more heat than canned or jarred chiles. If you can't find fresh green chiles, you can use a can of diced green chiles, but be sure to drain them well before using.
- Roast the green chiles. Roasting the green chiles intensifies their flavor and makes them easier to peel. You can roast the chiles under a broiler or on a grill.
- Make your own enchilada sauce. Enchilada sauce is easy to make and it tastes much better than store-bought sauce. You can find a recipe for enchilada sauce in the article.
- Use a variety of fillings. You can fill your enchiladas with chicken, beef, pork, or vegetables. You can also add cheese, beans, or rice to the filling.
- Top the enchiladas with your favorite toppings. You can top the enchiladas with cheese, sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.
Conclusion:
Green chile chicken enchiladas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They are perfect for a weeknight dinner or a potluck. With a little planning, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal on the table in no time.
