I didn't think that I would like these because they seemed too simple, but they were very delicious and the whole family declared it a keeper! I like it because it is such an uncomplicated recipe. I will be making this again!!!

Very good. My husband thought it was too rich with the cream cheese, but I loved it. It was even better for leftovers. I definitely plan to make again just so I can take it for lunch all week.

I substituted half of the cream cheese with cottage cheese that I creamed in the food processor.

I loved these. I have been searching for a good chicken enchilada recipe for a long time. I didn't think there was enough of the salsa and sour cream mixture though. Next time I will make a little more so the enchiladas aren't as dry and they have a little more flavor.

I wasn't really impressed with this recipe. We love cream cheese, sour cream and cheddar. It was kind of bland to me.

This recipe is really good. The first time I made it, my husband had a hard time with it because the filling was too rich for him, and he's the type who can pack it away and loves just about anything. So the next time I made it, I reduced the cream cheese by half, and then added 2 tbsp cottage cheese and 2-3 tbsp sour cream to the cream cheese and chicken mixture. Also, for the chicken, I just used my leftover slow-cooker whole chicken meat from the night before. I then used the enchilada sauce recipe from the Tacoritos recipe from Taste of Home, and those enchiladas were the BOMB!! I don't think I will ever make a different recipe when I want chicken enchiladas.

These were delicious! I loved the cream cheese instead of the usual cream of chicken soup. Definitely will make again and again.
