Sybil Kay (Indiana) says:

I made this and I agree with Kate from NJ. Too much cream cheese and I'm a cheesy, creamy kind of girl. Other than that, it was good.

Sheryl Easter (Oklahoma) says:

Very yummy and the family loved. I lightened it up with Light Cream Cheese and made into a casserole lining the bottom and top with flour tortillas. I used 4 large tortillas. I also made ahead, placing in refrigerator and cooked longer when ready to use.

My partner and I love Mexican food. I was wanting to make something different than just plain tacos. I came across this recipe and it seems so easy. I'm preparing it tonight!! Can't wait!

Rick Kroeger (Florida) says:

I love making this recipe. I did modify it some by adding rotel, along with the red enchilada sauce and Mexican cheese as a topping. I also used cream of chicken soup and queso instead of cream cheese for the filling. It's a fan favorite for my party guests and friends!

Oh my gosh... best chicken enchilada recipe ever. A friend made it for a church supper, and everyone wanted seconds! My family, who doesn't particularly like chicken enchiladas, loved it!

Michelle (Texas) says:

This recipe is very good and very easy.I like to add a small can of salsa Like Herdez to ours. I put the salsa in with the chicken and cream cheese. Remember to drain the excess water out of it though. One of our favorite dishes!

I was trying to figure out if there was any 13x9x2 inch baking dish, that was not rectangular.

I originally found this recipe on a can of "old Elpaso" green enchilada sauce. I make it a bit different.

I pressure cook the chicken and then shred it with a fork. I use the "broth" from the pressure cooker to mix into the "Far East" Spanish rice mix.

This time around I am going to add some olives to the chicken and cheese mix.

My sister Tracy made this recipe while she was visiting this weekend. It was delicious! It didn't take long at all to prepare. I can't wait to make it.

Amanda (United States) says:

These are awesome! Everyone that I have made them for love them! But I prepare them a little differently. I put the raw chicken, cream cheese and green chilies in a Crockpot and cook it on high for5 or 6 hours. Then I shred the chicken before putting them in the tortillas. The rest I do the same. So yummy!
