Chicken Enchilada Soup

3-4 Chicken Breasts

2 cans cream of chicken soup

2 can or Rotel

1 can of chicken broth

2-4 cups of cheese

I put all the above in the crock-pot minus the cheese and let it cook on low all day.

About 30 min before serving shred the chicken and add the cheese. Stir every ten minutes so cheese melts. You can also cook this on the stovetop in about 30 minutes.
