    OK, what can I say, making this again tonight. We love it. I put the chicken, water and onions in a crock pot and leave it all day. When I get home I follow the remainder of the recipe....fabulous and easy! My type of cooking! - 1/29/09

    Love this dish. I did add a pack of taco seasoning to the water, onion mixture and 4 oz. of low fat cream cheese before I put the chicken back in. I got 8 servings out of it. Family LOVED it. Will definitely make again!! - 2/8/09

    Delicious. I added 4oz of low fat cream cheese before adding the chicken and used canned green chilis and it was still amazing. It is a new staple at our house. - 2/3/09

    This was yummy...I used a little less water so that it wasn't runny. I also added some red enchilada sauce to the layering which added some extra flavor. - 2/3/09

    This was really good but a bit bland. I had to add more flour to get it to thicken. Maybe a bit less water, a bit more cheese and something else. Baked it at 350 in a 9x13. Overall a great recipe. Will definitely make it again!!! - 2/1/09

    OK, Joe left a few things out of the directions...so I ad-libbed. No need to give less stars for it like some members have. We are after all human ;o). It is DELICIOUS! If you can't have spicy mexican due to stomach problems leave chilis out. WE LOVE IT AND WILL MAKE IT AGAIN!!! :O) Thanks Joe - 1/30/09

    Thanks, I am still learning that you have to put all the instructions down I am so not used to writing out recipes! I live in New Mexico so our green chile (anahiem peppers)is fresh and super hot, I didn't realize that everyone else might not have access to the same great chile! Thanks again!

    I made this and liked it but it didn't have the temperature of the oven in the recipe or what size pan. I also found it to be a bit bland and would add some spices the next time I make it. It was good and will make it again. - 1/30/09

    I wasn't thrilled with the texture. We like things spicy, so I added jalapenos, and to increase the fiber & protein, also added 1 can of black beans in the layers. Since there are just 2 of us, I made this in 2 pans, and froze one for later. - 2/23/09

    I have found (with making this repeatedly) that if you substitute water (to boil the chicken) with vegetable or chicken broth (lowest fat, lowest sodium kind) it adds TONS of flavor in the sauce! This is a family favorite. - 1/27/10

    Everyone loved it. Less water next time, add some garlic and other spices and try not frying the tortillas. - 2/18/09

    Loved, loved, loved this and so did my picky family! I was also confused about the directions. I did not use all the liquid listed in the recipe, it seemed like too much.I added green salsa and taco seasoning. Yum, yum, yummy! - 1/30/09

    I made this tonight, and it's pretty good. It's quite bland, though. I will try it again another time with more onion, chicken buillion in the water, and some salsa. We'll see how it goes! Thanks for the recipe! - 1/28/09

    This recipe turned out pretty good - my boyfriend has been eating it for three days now. :) The only thing I would change is that I'd probably boil the chicken with some jalapeno to give it a little more flavor. Other than that, yummy! - 1/26/09

    This is a great recipe. I shredded the chicken added 1 4oz can of diced chiles to the chicken. I used 2 cans of greeen chile salsa instead of making the sauce myself with the broth made from boiling the chicken. It was spicy, delicious and I got 9 servings out of it! It was delicious! Thanks! - 1/28/09

    I added more chili peppers and some tabassco, if you do the peppers fresh it cuts the salt a lot from the canned version, and I also added some diced tomato to the chicken mix, felt like it needs some fresh homemade salsa to top it, but I love sauces and spicy stuff. :) Thanks! - 1/28/09

    This recipe was very good! I did add salt, pepper, and cumin to the chicken mixture for a little extra spice. I did use weight watchers cheese but used the whole bag in between the 2 layers. I also used 4 chicken breasts instead. I did feed more people. Everyone that night gave it thumbs up! - 1/27/09

    This was delicious. Because my husband can't eat anything with gluten, I subbed flour with 2 TBS of corn starch. Recipe turned out yummy! I did skip the tomatoes because I am highly allergic to tomatoes. I thought the chilies would make the food too spicy but the meal turned out perfect. I loved it. - 1/27/09

    I used wheat flour. The gravey didn't thicken up as much as I had expected it to but it was o.k. I wasn't sure the oven temp so I used 425. I left out the chili and salted the water with salt substitute. Overall I liked it but my 13 yr.old son didn't because of the soggy tortillas. - 1/26/09

    Made this tonight. Used Monterey Jack cheese. Used some crumpled tortilla chips since i didn't have Masa Harina - in place of some of the flour. Also used chicken thighs instead of breast since that's what i had. - 1/26/09
