Creamy Chicken Enchiladas

danlynclark's Note:

This is one of my favorite meals. It is creamy and delicious. The chopping can take a bit of time, but you can also use a food processor. This is such a versatile recipe, you can substitute and omit whatever you want from it, and it still works out.

I reduced the recipe by half and while very good I found it excessivly moist. The enchiladas were swimming in creamy sauce. So much that the tortillas were soggy. Maybe it was in the reduction of the amounts or the unspecified size of the flour tortillas. (I used 6 inch) Next time I will adjust to use less sauce, but otherwise the flavors are good and the recipe easy to make from pantry staples. Thank you for sharing the recipe!

This was great! My family loved it and asked for it again not even a week later! We served it with additional salsa dolloped on top. I'm making a double recipe tomorrow and I'm going to freeze some for lunches! Thanks so much for sharing.

My kids were hungry for something Tex-Mex. I looked in my panty for items I had on hand then searched for a recipe that matched! I also added a small can of diced green chilis since I omitted the peppers. Very easy to make and tasted great. Thank you for posting.
