  I have a similar recipe from my favorite Tex-Mex restaurant. If you want more sauce, add a can of low fat cream of chicken soup. If you want more spice, then add chopped onions, tomatoes and salsa on top and serve with rice and black beans. - 3/5/09

  Anybody who is from or has even visited New Mexico KNOWS that this recipe requires Green Chili! You can use mild or hot depending on your taste but no enchilada should be made without it. - 3/5/09

  This was very tasty. Thanks for the recipe. I cut back on the cumin and add cilantro, with the chili powder and paprika idea. - 3/5/09

  Very good. Use low fat cheese and sour cream to lower fat and calorie content. Add a few more spices to taste and can't be beat! - 3/5/09

  Versatile recipe. I've made this several times. Ground chicken or turkey can be substituted and you can use a lower fat mexican cheese blend if desired. We even used corn tortillas instead of wheat. It's delicious and healthy every way! - 3/5/09

  it was good but needed some additional spices (I used chili powder and extra cumin). I also added black beans and green salsa to the filling and used a mix of cheddar, jack and mexican chihuaua cheese on top. my husband, a chef, approved. :) - 4/10/08

  Healthy? Yes. Yummy? No. My three picky eaters (husband, 3yr old and 1yr old) all disliked this and I didn't care for it much either. We are big Mexican food eaters and this just didn't do it for us. Dull... mushy... almost tasteless. I do not recommend. - 3/11/08

  I added a can of green chiles and some chili powder and made a red sauce to pour over. I also made a vegetarian pan using beans to replace the chicken. - 12/3/07

  I thought the recipe was a little bland as written. We have made it with red enchilada sauce and green enchilada sauces. It's also good with red and green pepper filling with the chicken. - 3/19/07

  This was very good. Hubby and I are not good on Green Chili Or jalapeño any more so had to put in green onions instead. Very good. - 11/3/18

  Delicious. Added extra spice to prevent blandness. Also added tomato, mushrooms and sweet red pepper to the chicken mix, used all greek yogurt (no sour cream), served with salsa and avocado on top. Took 7 tortillas to fit all the chicken mix. Husband liked but said it was a bit mushy. Cook shorter? - 4/22/10

  My husband and I both loved this recipe, and he asked if I could make it for him every week, and he is typically a white bread, meat eater who loves lots of fatty sauces on his meals. - 1/20/10

  I made these with quite a few changes/additions and they came out great! I added shredded carrots and extra onions and spices and herbs, and since I did not have the recommended green chiles on hand I added a can of hot peppers. I subbed cottage cheese for yogurt since we were out of yogurt. Yum! - 1/17/10

  I have made this a couple times now and my kids are so happy with it. It's a creamy recipe without all the fat associated with the creamy sauces. I would add roasted chili's to it as well and I only added jalapeno's to half of them since the kids don't like the heat. - 10/4/09

  This was quite good with the extensive additions and changes I made. I added a whole bunch of cilantro in and on them, as well as extra spices. I used Greek yogurt instead of plain yogurt and added refried beans to the sauce as well as scraped the tortillas with beans before rolling them. - 8/6/09

  these were outstanding! I used a rotisserie chicken from walmart and it was so easy and delicious!! will make these frequently! I also added chopped canned jalapenos instead of fresh, maybe that made the difference with the flavor! - 5/3/09

  This was really good. I read some reviews that said it was too bland but I didn't find it bland at all. I did add a can of diced green chillies to it, so maybe that helped. Hubby loved it too. Will definitely be making this again. - 4/8/09

  I added half a can of mild green chilis to the sauce and the rest of the can to the meat mixture. I served it with salsa and gaucamole dip. Yummo! My husband told me to put this in my "keeper" file. - 3/31/09

  My family loved it. I have made the chicken enchiladas from another member and it was a hit, but this one is lighter and everyone seems to like this one better. But now I have a choice. We put fat free refried beans as another topping. - 3/16/09

  These were good, but if I make them again, I think I would double the sauce ingredients, as my family thought they were a little dry. Overall, they were a hit with my family, though! - 3/12/09

  I enjoyed this, but it was pretty time-consuming. I added some chili powder and seasoned the chicken breasts with Bay Seasoning and put them on my Foreman grill to cook them. Very good recipe, overall. - 4/8/08

  I cooked my chicken with taco seasoning (1/2 pkg) and added the rest to the spinach mixture. Next time I make this I will saute some onions and pepers and make more of a Fajita mix with the sauce. I also used salsa to serve to kick it up a bit. - 3/14/08

  I loved this one. It did make more than the recipe said but I didn't really measure my meat, I eye balled it. I also used turkey since I had left over turkey breast. When I make it again I will add more spices. I felt it was a little bland, but I like spicey. Salsa over it before serving worked - 3/11/08

  it wasn't quite what i was expecting. i used a really spicy habenero salsa on top so it was spicy but too creamy. i'm a big fan of green enchiladas though... thanks for the recipe! - 9/26/07

  It was a good, albeit time consuming, recipe. The sauce was a tad spicy, but in a good way although it seemed a tad bland even so. There was something missing. Adding some bell peppers and tomato to the sauce might take care of it. - 3/27/07
