I made these for a surprise dinner for my boyfriend over the weekend (we both love mexican food) and he loved them. The only thing that I changed in the recipe was the 12 small chili peppers to 4 small chili peppers. Everything else was okay. I made 5 giant enchiladas, and within 2 days, my boyfriend had eaten all of them. Thank you very much Gerry. Very good recipe.

Towards the end of preparing these enchiladas I was cursing. It definately takes alot of steps and is very time comsuming. But when my husband, my son and I sat down to eat them, I realized all the work was worth it. Quite delicious! The green onions do not need to be added. I made some with and some without and the consensus was they were better without.

I can't believe I have not ranked this recipe yet. This is a family favorite. Nice flavor, spice, and texture. This is a wonderful enchilada recipe and worth all the extra effort and time it might take. Thanks Gerry!!

This was a wonderful enchilada recipe and I've tried many. My only suggestion was to place the sauce ingredients in your blender or food processor. I preferred the sauce to be less chunky. It didn't affect the taste, just changed the texture.

Delicious! Time consuming but worth it. I omitted the cream but used very moist corn tortillas and came out great

My family liked the enchiladas, but I think it was too time consuming. Only try if you have a lot of time. The sauce that the chicken cooks down in is great.

Excellent! I used canned chopped chilis instead of the fresh, used chicken tenders and kept them whole while cooking, they were much easier to remove that way. I also didn't go overboard with the green onions, though that's a matter of preference. I do feel dipping the tortillas in the cream was a good step - it really made them moist. (Also used flour ones by the way) I also added some fresh chopped cilantro at the end in the filling, really added to it. Mine took roughly 2.5 hours start to finish. VERY Good. Even my husband and 17 month old loved them.

Thanks for a wonderful recipe, Gerry. I am always looking for ways to economize, so I used chicken thighs (saved over $2) and boiled them for the broth so that I didn't need to purchase chicken broth. Otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly, and they came out just wonderful. I did not add the chile peppers, and for me the "heat" was just right, but I like mild. My family loved this dish.

I've never made enchiladas before but I do love a good mexican dish. This was fantastic. I doubled the recipe for 10 people and we did have a few left overs but everyone raved. I cooked the chicken and the sauce in my crock pot for 6 hours then simmered it to reduce. Reduction didn't take as long as I suspected (considering comments made in other reviews).

Hold on, let me wipe the drool off of my face. These are so deliciously genius! I have made vegetarian versions of this as well as the real deal, several times, in large batches for groups. At first I thought there was too much liquid that was being unused, but I find lots of uses for the extra sauce now, like flavoring for rice as a side.

These were wonderful. My fiancee doesn't like corn tortillas, so I tried this recipe. I added black beans and corn. I also used green chile enchilada sauce instead.

This put a stop to my chicken enchilada craving!! I cooked the chicken in the crockpot with water and taco seasoning overnight. Used the broth from the crockpot instead of the canned chicken broth. Also omitted the heavy cream, but used fat free sour cream and cream cheese in its place. Instead of the canned Enchilada sauce, made my own from a recipe found here, Red Enchilada sauce by Sara. Excellent recipes! Will make again!!!

These are the very best enchiladas! I loved your recipe. I did however skip the cream and all the folding. I also added a tiny can of chopped red jalapenos and layered everything! Huge hit. Add some Sangria and you have a party! Thank you for this wonderful recipe!

I followed the recipe to a "T" and they came out great. I was asked for the recipe, and praised often for this one. O.K. so, it almost seemed as if the author, bless their heart, was trying to think of extra steps as I went along following the recipe. For instance, why simmer the chicken with the enchilada stew mixture and then have to dig it out? Well, I did it according to the recipe, all I can figure is that the acidity of the tomato mixture helps to break down the chicken to make it shred up real nicely. I bought hatch red chile enchilada sauce, the hot version, and they were still not hotter than they should be. The only thing I would try differently, though I did it the way the recipe said to do it, would be to try making it with the corn tortillas in oil instead of heavy cream, only to save a little money on a step that might be uneccesary. If you want them to turn out perfect though, follow the recipe the first time and then do what you want after everyone tells you what a wonderful cook that you are. Yummilicious!

Gerry, I just wanted to say thanks so much! I was looking for a good chicken enchilada recipe and yours is the first one I tried. I'm serving these tomorrow for Sunday Dinner, to a big group. Today, Saturday, I cooked everything up in my Crock Pot. My whole house smelled wonderful by mid-afternoon! It was like walking into a good Mexican Restaurant! Once the chicken and other ingredients had simmered all day, I pulled the chicken out and shredded it. I reduced the sauce on the stove, reserved what I will need to add to the chicken tomorrow, and pureed the rest in the blender (my family doesn't like "chunks" in their food). The pureed sauce came out so delicious that I'm going to use it as the Enchilada Sauce. This recipe is time consuming, but I can already tell it's going to be fantastic! I'll write a full review after my dinner guests leave... but I just couldn't wait to tell you thanks!

Instead of wrapping tortillas, I served the chicken mixture over rice. The family (3 kids and DH) raved. Nice when being lazy turns out so well! :-D LOVED the recipe both ways.
