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!

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

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

Not sure what temp to bake it at? I made this tonight but the flour didn't thicken up and it was very, very runny. I'm still confused on parts of this recipe but would love to make it again if I knew what i did wrong! Also mine didn't look anything like the picture!?!? - 1/20/09

I made this and thought it was pretty bland but like the texture. However, I was confused about the roasted green chili. Please explain further. The amount was also a bit confusing so I just used a small can of chopped green chili. It was easy to make and will make again with some changes. - 1/24/09

This sounds really great, but that nutritional information can't be right with tortillas and cheese, can it?
I will definitely try it, and enter the info to check it out - 1/23/09

If you click under the calorie count on see full information it will tell you the exact amounts of all the items I entered to get the calorie info, but its right its just so yummy that it seams like it should be more!

My husband made this dish while I was at the gym working out and when I got home the aroma coming from the kitchen was unbelievable. It even looked delicious. At first I was a little worried, but oh my, it was wonderful. My whole family loved it. We will definitely make this one again and again! - 1/23/09

This recipe sounds good but I am worried about the seasoning, or lack thereof. Are you supposed to use boneless skinless breasts or bone on? Is the thickened water only flavored by the chick. and onion? I guess I will try it first, but I'm open to other spice suggestions! - 1/23/09
Reply from JOEMELEAGLES (1/23/09)
The green chili should really give you alot of flavor if you use hot, but you can add some fresh garlic or even a little red chili powder to add more flavor if you want. Even Ms Dash is a great seasoning with this! Thanks

Seems like there ought to be more calories in this one. But then I gues it depends on the number of servings. Sounds interesting especially since I have a gluten problem and can't have traditional noodles. - 1/15/09

It is so good, and I did it with 6 servings the squares are about the size of a deck of cards, and you can even add a little sour cream, its yummy!

Cooked 1 lbs chicken in 3 c chicken broth. Used mild chilies, some salsa verde (1/4 c) and added 1/2 t cumin and a little chipotle chili powder for heat. Used 0 fat evaporated milk and flour to thicken the sauce. My 4-serving version has 254 calories/24 g protein. It was great. This is a keeper!!! - 10/1/16

Thanks for this recepie was trying to find a way to cook the tortillas without frying with so much oil. My family never likes it if the tortillas arent cooked. It was nice to find a New Mexican recipe on here...Gotta have our enchiladas!....Now to work on a healthier version of Indian Tacos.... :) - 1/11/13

I made this delicious dish today. After reading all the comments, I used 2-14.5 oz. cans of fat free chicken broth in place of the water and added a pkg. of Low Sodium Taco Seasoning. I also used a small can of mild Green Chiles. Everything else the same and it was very tasty, not bland at all! TYVM - 6/7/12
