not a fan! After reading the recipe I was so excited as they sounded delicious. I was wrong! The chicken was bland and lacked flavor. I made these as directed but I did not fry the tortillas 1st. I baked for 10 minutes after assembled to melt the cheese. I love the flavor of poblano peppers but the sauce was also bland and lacking flavor. No one in my family liked these

This was pretty good. The chicken cooked up to be delicious, but the mozzarella cheese really threw me off. Also, the sauce took a lot of prep, but wasn't really worth the flavor. Def. will keep the chicken cooking process, but scrap the rest.

I've made this twice (in less than a week) and I love the simplicity and the flavour that this enchilada has. What I'm not liking is that the sauce is too thin for my liking. The first time I made it I used my vitamix blender to blend up the broth, peppers, and sour cream - This resulted in a liquidy sauce. Second time I left the sour cream out and then mixed it into the broth & pureed peppers...still liquidy not as bad. I think next time (and there WILL be a next time) I'll try a simple roux technique to thicken up the sauce but WOW this is GOOD!!!!

I am eating the leftovers from last nite while I am writing this and they are even better the next day! I must say I couldn't find poblanos so I used a can of green chilis instead. I also used 4 chicken hindquarters that I did in the crock-pot and used the broth they made. I also used Monteray Jack cheese and assembled them like a lasagna instead of rolling them. They were ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!! I can't wait to try them with the poblanos! I will take these OVER and Over! Thanks Olga!

Finally I have found an authentic Enchilada recipe with all the flavors that I remember from living in Oklahoma!! I followed the recipe exactly and it was delicious however, it was not quite the texture that I had wanted. It was crunchier and I wanted the rolled tortilla to be firm but not crunchy.(Just because that is the texture I remember). On my second attempt I fried the tortilla until soft then added some of the pepper sauce into the chicken before rolling. The sauce needs to be heated first to warm the chicken. I put the rolled enchiladas in a 9 x 13 baking pan then heated the sauce until it was hot. At this point I added more of the chicken stock to get the sauce to the desired consistancy. Then I poured the hot sauce over the enchilada's and topped with the cheese. Do not bake, that is the secret. Serve immediatly.

This is fabulous! I don't like corn tortillas, so I used flour. I put cilantro in the sauce as well like others had suggested. I dunked both sides in the sauce and then put chicken and mozz and monterray cheese in the middle. I then wrapped it up and poured the rest of the sauce over the top and baked it. I found that 350 for 15 minutes wasn't long enough so I increased it to 400 until it the cheese was bubbling. This is SUPER delicious especially when PIPING hot! I will be making this again! YUM!!!

These were very, very good. Step 1 says to reserve one cup of the chicken stock and discard the rest, but don't. I got about 2-1/2 cups of stock, so I froze what I did not use rather than discarding it. Next time I make these, I can use some leftover deli chicken and a cup of the frozen stock, cutting the time it takes to make these way down. The boiled chicken seemed a little dry, so next time I might try shredding it instead of slicing it. Frying the tortillas was strange; even in a very hot pan, the tortillas just seemed to absorb the oil. Next time I may try non-stick cooking spray. As others have done, I put the finished enchiladas under the broiler for a couple of minutes (watching them carefully) to melt the cheese. Muy delicioso!

Wish they had more stars for this recipe! The only changes I made were: 1) added a chipotle pepper and a little bit of the adobo sauce they're canned in to the poblano sauce mixture to spice it up a little, 2) as another reviewer suggested, shredded the chicken instead of slicing it, and 3) put the enchiladas in a baking dish and baked at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes before topping with the cheese. I have now abandoned the chicken enchilada recipe I've been using for years - THIS is now my go-to enchilada recipe! Also, because it's easier and requires less clean-up, I used my immersion blender for the sauce, and it worked really great. Thanks so much for this recipe!

Made this last night. Used 4 poblanos, and it was extremely spicy! If gringa means what I think it means, then this is too spicy for one! I forgot to add the shredded cheese, and I'm actually glad I did, because it would have been a waste. The recipe has potential, so I'll need to sit down and think about where it needs to be tweaked.
