  Made this last night, I highly recommend baking this covered then removing the foil for the last 5 minutes, uncovered came out dry, but still tasted good! Added green chilies to the chicken mixture. Sauce was excellent! - 11/6/09

  To keep the tortillas from falling apart, warm them up to soften them. Don't dip them in water. Don't warm them in microwave because they will toughen up as they cool. If you don't have a gridle to warm them on, just use a regular pan on the stove top and flip the tortillas a couple times. - 4/30/09

  I just made these last night and was so impressed with how good these were! The sauce is so flavorful. I added some fresh spinach to the filling. YUM! The only thing I would do differently next time is saute the onions for a couple minutes beforehand. They were still a bit crunchy for my liking. - 5/17/11

  I cooked my chicken in a slow cooker, which made it very easy to shred. I also added some wilted spinach to each to give it some veggies. Overall, very good, I will make again! - 3/1/12

  These were very good. I added 3 finely minced cloves of garlic...otherwise, left the recipe as is. You didn't say, but the chicken breast must be cooked before placing in tortillas w/other ingredients...I assume you meant this anyway. - 1/26/09

  Yes, *cooked* chicken must be placed in the tortillas. Thanks. I corrected it in the recipe. I am glad you enjoyed them!

  To keep the chicken from becoming too dry put a spoon or two of sour cream (just enough to moisten the chicken) in with the chicken and cheese before rolling into the tortilla. I also dip the tortilla into the chicken broth to add extra flavor. This receipe is AWESOME! - 3/24/11

  SO GOOD! I was not expecting this to be so good. Mine weren't dry at all, I put it in at 350 for 12 min and they still had some moistness. I used canned green chili sauce. I went on a cleaning rage in the fridge and threw out the sour cream and it was even good without that. Def make again. - 8/5/10

  A bit of work, but absolutely worth it! These were superb. I used blue corn tortillas and made the recipe exactly. I softened the tortillas in water, it worked great. (Don't use the microwave, they will get rubbery). DH and 3 year old both loved it. Thanks BETHPROVERBS31! - 7/10/11

  This was delicious. The entire family loved it! I sauted onions and added chopped peppers to filling. Also I did not dip tortillas in water. I worked with them dry-it was fine. - 7/13/10

  Very good! This was a big hit with my husband, especially because of the spice! A little hot for me, but I still enjoyed every bite! Even though I placed the corn tortillas in hot water before putting the enchiladas together, they still fell apart. Didn't ruin the taste though! - 2/4/09

  I love this recipe!!! Next time I will only bake it for 10-15 minutes as it came out a bit dry but still delicious! I used half the cheddar and could barely taste it, I think it could be omitted and not missed at all. I want to try with Jalapenos as well instead of green chilis! YUMMY! - 1/26/09

  Yum we really enjoyed this. I precooked the chicken breast in my crockpot. And used nonfat Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. My corn tortillas were already falling apart so I made it lasagna style. This I will be making again I'm sure. Thanks for a great recipe. - 5/1/17

  Very good. The only thing I would change is instead of dipping tortilla in hot water (they fell apart) steam them over hot water. Otherwise everything came out good. - 6/19/16

  You can heat the broth and spices and use it to dip the tortillas instead of water, before adding the s. cream. In a restaurant they'll use hot broth or hot oil for dipping. This sounds yummy, I've added it to my recipe stash! For us I'll use 2 whole cans of chiles, one in filling and one in sauce. - 4/18/13

  This is excellent, very easy to make. I poached the chicken with onion, garlic and taco seasoning and made it as a lasagna style dish since all the corn tortillas available were large. Sauce breaks a little but still delicious. Fresh cilantro on top would be excellent. Thanks BethProverbs31! - 9/23/11

  I just made this for dinner tonight with Spanish Rice as a side dish. My husband said it was very tasty. He also added that it was good enough to be served in our favorite Mexican restaurant. Definitely a do-again! I may use La Tortilla Factory tortillas next time. - 7/13/11

  This recipe was pretty good, but the sauce turned out dry. Next time I will cover the dish per other recommendations. FYI, this does take a decent amount of time to prepare. - 6/1/11

  I prepared the tortillas by spraying a frypan with non-fat cooking spray and softening them that way. It worked well to put the enchiladas together, but the tortillas pretty much fell apart after cooking. Great flavor (I substituted a pre-prepared green chili quesadilla sauce for all of the spices). - 7/25/10

  These turned out awesome. I found wrapping the tortillas in a paper towel and microwaving for around 30 seconds made it easier to wrap up the chicken. - 7/22/10

  Made original recipe and enjoyed it. The men in my house would want to eat 2 plus other sides, so I tried lightening it up as follows: Used cottage cheese to replace shredded cheese and also the sour cream and cream cheese. OK to good, but it loses the creaminess and richness of original dish. - 1/18/10

  So I'm super bad at rolling things, which is why I never make enchiladas, but these looked SO GOOD that I had to try it. And it was amazing. Instead of rolling them, I simply layered it, half the tortillas, chicken, onion, cheese, half the sauce, rest of tortillas, rest of sauce. It was excellent - 1/13/10

  This was AWESOME...I did not use the onions as I only like onions in certain things...I plan to kick up the spice by adding some jalapenos and mabye some cayenne...This IS definitely one of my favorites. - 8/4/09
