I made a triple batch for our annnual church frozen food sale. These were spoken for before I got them to church. A great favorite that I also take to friends and family outings. This freezes well.

Very easy to make, tasty and Spanish Rice on the side makes a great dinner.

I substituted 2 cups of"El Pato" Red Enchilada Sauce, added 1/2 cup chopped onion to the chicken mixture, used 2 ounces of HOT green chilies and used all cheddar cheese (that's what I had in the fridge). It was a HUGE hit with my husband and his friends. They loved it.
