This was the worst dish I have made from this site. It started out good it looked good all of the fixings for it tasted good but after it was all made and I made it exactly how it said, it was horrible. I do not recommend this dish at all.

Great recipe! I used the green chile enchilada sauce instead of the salsa. This was the best!! Everyone went back for thirds!

Me and my husband love this take on Mexican food. I substituted Philadelphia Santa Fe cooking cream instead of the cream cheese and added 1 tin of green chiles. Gave it some added flavor. I triple this recipe and serve to company and it goes down a treat. Everybody loves it and asks for the recipe. Even good if you freeze them.

I varied a little from the recipe with using my own salsa. And I had a little of the chicken mixture left so I just mixed it with my salsa to put on top of the enchiladas then topped with cheese. Delicious. My husband even commented how much he enjoyed the meal.

I made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious. It was very easy to make. My family absolutely loved these enchiladas, I will definitely be making these again and again. I think we have found a new one to add to our family favorites.

Made this last night, absolutely delicious. Followed the recipe to the letter except for substituting the new Santa Fe Philadelphia creme instead of plain cream cheese, and I used whole wheat tortillas. I believe the whole wheat tortillas helped prevent soggy enchiladas.

This dish was very simple to make and my husband, who is a picky eater, liked it! I thought it was good...but wasn't over the moon about it. Very very filling! I made four tortillas with this recipe.
