I think I could make this every night and my husband would be the happiest husband in the world! I love this! Sometimes I use flour tortillas, depending on what I have at home and I love olives, so I add sliced olives on top before I bake it.

This recipe is just alright. Nothing fantastic. My husband and his friend liked it - but after reading the rave reviews I was disappointed in the finished product.

I've been making this recipe for a long time now. I absolutely love it. However, you can DEFINITELY simplify it to where it really isn't a chore at all, if you don't mind chopped chicken rather than shredded: 1) dice the chicken 2)saute the chicken in a large skillet 3) dump in all the remaining ingredients and simmer until it is reduced and not too watery. Leave out the broth. 4) build your enchiladas and cook! It tastes just the same as the long method and is super easy!

A delicious recipe!One thing I would add is to lightly warm the corn tortillas in a little bit of oil before dipping them...otherwise they will indeed fall apart!

This was good, but only good. Did not feel it was worth all the effort. I did like the idea w/ soaking the tortillas.

While I often do not change the recipe much, with this I omitted a few things. I didn't marinate the chicken and I'm glad I didn't! The flavor that the chicken gets from the tomatos, onion, and green chilies is awesome. I also didn't dip my tortillas in heavy cream. When the directions called for Cream of Chicken Soup I was a little worried. I wanted to make a very authentic type of enchilada and that concerned me, but honestly it didn't take away from anything. I do feel it's a necessary ingredient though because it makes the sauce not so thin. As for the sauce, it takes FOREVER to reduce. When adding it to the chicken know that it will not be a 'paste', and truethfully, do you really want a paste?! When putting the sauce in the bottom of the pan I just strained out the tomatoes, onion, and chilies and laid them all on the bottom, then I rolled up the tortilas and poured more of the cooked sauce over them. Why add a pre-made generic tasting 'Enchilada Sauce' when you have this awesome sauce YOU MADE?! I added a small amount just because I bought the stuff, but next time it's a big ol' NO. Very time consuming recipe but VERY VERY WORTH IT.

UPDATE: HAD TWO ENCHILADAS AND MY LEFTOVER RICE FOR LUNCH YESTERDAY. I ACTUALLY PREFER THESE AS LEFTOVERS. THEY WERE A BIT MILDER & NOT DRY AT ALL! These were just "OK" for us. Made 6 generously stuffed enchiladas for my bf & I last night. I enjoyed the 'bite' (I used 12 serrano chilies of varying heat & marinated my chx. in a packet of McCormick chx. taco seasoning mix. as directed - i.e. w/ 1/2 c. H2O). I do have a few gripes though: a) there is WAY too much sauce (despite red. to 2 1/4 c.), b) mix. 1/4 c. sauce w/ my chx. didn't produce a "paste" (I needed a tad more), c) I didn't use all of the cheese called for (there is NO WAY that I could stuff 6 (6 in.) tortillas w/ all that shredded chx. & 1.5 c. cheese - and I even used only 3 breasts!), d) using a full 10 oz. can of enchilada sauce & an ENTIRE bunch of green oninos is OVERKILL IMHO & e) there is NO WAY you need 1/2 pint of heavy whipping cream (my God!). My enchiladas turned out VERY soupy, even after cooling for 15 min. I did make 1 change that may have contributed to this.... Instead of dipping my tortillas in cream, I dipped them in warm chx. broth & then poured 3/4 c. cream over them b4 topping w/ (red) enchilada sauce. I've done this b4 (Whit's enchilada recipe) w/ AWESOME results, so I thought the same would work here. Served w/ fiesta rice, tortilla chips & Jarrito's Mexican pop, this was perfect Sun. dinner fare. I'm glad I gave this a try, but I still like Whit's recipe much better. Thx. anyways :)

Fantastic! I used two cans of diced tomatoes instead of one can of diced and one can of stewed, I marinated the chicken in a packet of fajita seasoning and I served them with spanish rice. I opted against corn totillas and used flour because my mom and I don't like corn tortillas very much, and flour tortillas were easier to work with. These took a loooooooong time to make (from marinating the chicken to serving took me almost two and a half hours), and I don't think the chicken mixture simmered for me as much as it should have, but it still came out tasty and I'd say the extra time was worth it if you have a free evening and want to make something special. My mom and my brother both loved it and want me to make them again. Major props, Gerry.

Not the best enchiladas I've ever eaten, but they were good and my husband and I cleaned our plates and have been eaten the leftovers for lunches. Next time I am going to use flour tortillas and add a little cream cheese to the chicken. Thanks for the recipe!

I made this with the leftover "Slow Cooker Turkey Breast" from the AR website. I shredded the turkey breast and proceeded with the recipe. I did not follow this recipe to an absolute T. I used far less chiles because I was making these for my Mom and she doesn't like chiles. She also doesn't like corn tortillas so I used floured ones. I warmed the tortillas in the microwave so I could avoid dipping them in the heavy cream. Turned out delicious. I had to add a can of black beans (drained and rinsed) and a can of corn(drained and rinse) to the mixture because I needed to make alot of these and I didn't have enough turkey. Thanks for sharing.

Just made these for a Cinco de Mayo dinner and they were FANTASTIC!! They are just as good...if not better than any Mexican Restaurant I have ever been to. Even my husband (who does NOT like Mexican food) cleaned his plate! Thank You Gerry for sharing this outstanding and delicious recipe with us!!

My husband loved these. I didn't think that they took all that long to make like some other reviewers stated and I thought they were very easy. I bought chicken breast tenderloins which were very easy to cut into one inch strips. I then put them in a plastic zip lock bag and marinated them with a packet of Mccormick enchilada seasoning, 1/4 cup of water, and a little lime juice for about an hour and then browned them in the skillet with the onions for a couple mins. For the sauce I used two cans of diced tomatoes with green chile peppers instead of one stewed as I thought the stewed tomatoes would be too big. I also added one chicken bouillon to one cup of water and added that in instead of a whole can of chicken broth. The only other thing I did differently was I used flour tortillas as they did not have corn ones at my grocery store. Instead of cream I just popped them in one by one into the microwave for about 10 seconds each and that worked very well. This was great and I will definitely be making again!

I don't know what I did wrong....but when I dipped the corn tortillas in the cream they tore when rolling them up....what a mess. Had to go get flour tortillas and start over. Will never make again.

The Best Chicken Enchilada recipe I have tried yet! The only changes I made were that I used canned green chilis instead of hotter chilis because I can't handle the heat. And I used two cans of diced tomatoes and chilis and a small can of tomato sauce because I didn't have any stewed. My family loved loved loved the taste and requested that I write a review. So Thank you Gerry they were fantastic! Do yourself a favor and make this recipe.

This is a great recipe. I had it done in no time because I prepared the sauce, and took cooked chicken (I had leftovers from a chicken I roasted for soup the other night), seasoned with chili powder and cumin, and added it once the sauce had simmered a while. Also, I just used plain tomatoes and one can of diced chiles (not big on heat in this household). Once the chicken heated through, I made the enchiladas. I really liked this recipe, and thought dipping the tortillas in the cream was a nice touch. It was a snap to prepare this way.
