I cannot begin to tell you how good this recipe is! I shredded the chicken instead of cubing it and I used fresh cilantro since I was out of dried coriander. It was so good we didn't have a bite left over..... Even my two extremely picky children loved it! This is going to be put on our list of things we make often! YUM!

This is a great chicken enchilada recipe! My whole family enjoyed it and even my 6 year old wanted seconds. As he's a rather fussy eater, that does not happen very often. Will be making it again soon.

I've been cooking both gourmet and just plain old fashioned gook home cooking for decades. I've never rated a recipe until now, and I would never have thought I'd like a wet bread recipe of any sort. Well I've been making this particular recipe exactly as is for several years, actually since the magazine delivered this printed recipe to my mailbox. This is the only recipe I've wanted to make over and over again. The flavour, texture and comfort this dish brings is most definitely worth trying if you haven't already. I promise, you won't be disappointed.

I have young picky eaters. I just make one batch with sauce and one without. A salad on the side, and everyone LOVES it!

Very good even re-heated. I dont change or add anything. I have made these several times and they are always a hit.

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.
