This is very good! It's not as complicated to make as the recipe might make you believe. I'm not big on HOT Mexican, so for the 5 serrano peppers, I substituted 1 jalapeno and 1 can of diced, mild green chiles. That gave it enough kick for me! We call it Nor-Mex around here! I even found the tomatillos and queso fresco in my WI grocery.

Everybody raved about this on Cinco De Mayo. I cheated and used Herdez Salsa Verdes (3 cans), and doctored it up with garlic powder, chopped jalapenos, and chicken bouillon (to make it more like the recipe's salsa). Other than that, I followed the recipe to a T. Tasted great, and just the right amount of heat. Thanks so much, I'll be making these again (when I have time of course, b/c these were so time consuming!!)!

I made this yesterday and it was very good. The verde sauce is amazing--but for our taste, 5 serranos would be too much heat. I used 2 serranos and it was plenty. In addition to the ingredients in the recipe, I added about 2 tbsp of cumin. I used yellow corn torillas and instead of heating them on the stove, I dipped them in the hot salsa and rolled them with the chicken, added cilantro and chopped green onions and mexican cheese. The left over mexican cheese I sprinkled on top and added more monteray jack and cheddar. Baked for 30 minutes and 350 degrees and served with spanish rice with homemade guacamole and sour cream as garnish. The next time I think I will add the sour cream to the chicken mixture and try the salsa with a habanero (scotch bonnet) pepper. Thank you for this excellent recipe!

To start with, let me say that I am Mexican, living in mexico and probably my english will not be very good, so I will try my best to make this review. If you come to Mexico, this is what you will get if you order enchiladas in a restaurant. This is the REAL and authentic enchilada and we always make fun of the "mexican" food in the US. Let me give you some advice on how to ensure this doesnt go wrong. When using tomatillos buy the smallest ones, because the bigger are bitter. The peppers you cand reduce or increase the amount depending on how hot you like it, it really depends on your taste. When you fry the tortilla, it doesnt mean deep-fry... you just coat it in really hot oil. The tortilla still has to be flexible enough to manage and after you fill the tortilla with the chicken, put the salsa on top. Instead of salt use chicken broth powder (sorry if thats not the name, but I hope you know what I mean). The enchiladas are served with sour cream, queso fresco and onion. Now, I have never seen queso fresco (mexican cheese) in the US... but again, I dont live there. I guess now in the mexican stores they might sell it but whatever cheese you have is fine i guess. And I guess you can add the cilantro for extra flavor. Im glad that people know how to make REAL enchiladas in the US

Good authentic recipe, the only thing I change because of family tradition is boiling the tomatillos and peppers before mixing them in the blender, You can puree them raw and then boil the mixture and season with some salt.

I cooked the tomatillos as noted on the recipe and the sauce came out real bitter. It was not like the mexican restaurants. I will not try again!

This is by far the BEST recipe for enchiladas made with fresh verde! It is a little time consuming but worth every single bit of time spent! Thank you PattiVerde!

Wow, these were great. Like others, I'd recommend assembling them, topping with more sauce and cheese, and baking until warm. Very yummy, and much easier than I expected.

This meal had good ingredients, although it impossible to eat as per the directions! You can't eat it, it falls apart, the chicken gets cold, therefore the cheses doesn't melt.... This wasn't a good experience.

Some family members thought it was a little too spicy and some thought it was perfect. I myself LOVED IT! I had a HAPPY BELLY! I would suggest if spicy is not your thing then reduce the serranos to 3.

Very good! Labor-intensive, but well worth it. I followed the recipe as is up until the end. I rolled up the enchiladas and placed them in a 13x9 dish. Topped with some more of the sauce, and some shredded Monterey Jack Cheese, covered with foil and baked 30 minutes. Then topped with the fresh sliced onion and chopped cilantro after they were plated up. Yummy!

WOW WOW WOW! AS I WAS MAKING THESE I THOUGHT THEY WERE GONNA BE ALRIGHT BUT AS MY HUSBAND SAID THESE ARE SOOOO GOOD. I MADE IT EXACTLY I HAD MORE THAN ENOUGH SAUCE, I THINK WHAT I DID WAS ADD TOO MUCH BROTH IN THE BLENDER BUT I CORRECTED IT BY ADDING CHEESE ON TOP OF ROLLED ENCHILADAS ALONG WITH SAUCE AND BAKING IT ON 425 FOR 15 MIN. I THAN PUT SOME QUESO FRESCO AND CHOPPED CILANTRO ON TOP ALONG WITH SOUR CREAM. THIS ALSO COOLED DOWN THE CHILI SO MY KIDS COULD ENJOY THEM TOO.

We absolutely loved this recipe! The verde sauce is a winner! After reading the reviews, I decided to only go with 2 peppers, which was more than plenty for us. We like mild-medium spiciness and it was just right. Also, after boiling my chicken for 20 minutes, I didn't have much broth leftover to puree so I had to add a little bit extra canned chicken stock, but it turned out terrific still. Thanks for the awesome recipe!

My husband and I couldn't agree on whether to give this 4 or 5 stars... He said 4, so that is what I'll give. This was really good! I did switch some things up... I used sliced up jalapenos that I had in the fridge, just because I wanted to use them up. Once it was blended, it was all the same! The sauce was so good, I am kind of sad I don't have more extra! The only thing I would do different it melt cheese over the top. YUM!!
