My daughter, Lisa Sand, brought 10 pans of these yummy chicken enchiladas to my wedding reception and they were the biggest hit of all the food. So many guests wanted the recipe, we sent it out with our Christmas cards. —Pat Coffee, Kingston, Washington

Too much sause. The sauce is very heavy, creamy and fat. It has very strong cream of chicken taste. I wished it has another sause but the chicken is very good. I would not like to cook this recipe again.

Awesome recipe. I split it in half for my family, it divides perfectly. This is even great warmed up for leftovers the next day!

Great and simple recipe. This made a ton of enchiladas and even with my family of 5 big eaters we still have plenty left over. I may halve the sauce recipe next time because they are absolutely oozing with sauce! Not a bad thing, just a lot of sauce. Next time I make this, I may freeze half of the recipe for a meal later on. Really delicious!

These are so good, every time I make them, I can't believe they I made them. Have shared your recipe with family and friends, someone always asks. Thank you, we LOVE it.
