This is mexican food for people who don't like Mexican food (or for the delusional who think they know about it). This is bad and you should feel bad, along with the 420 "chefs" that gave it 5 stars. As a home cook, I'd give it a 2, as a professional what the were you thinking? You should be ashamed...

Just made this recipe today, I'm giving it a 5, which I suppose is "cheating" because I did a few things differently. Thanks to all the reviewers for the tips! I cooked the chicken the day before in my crockpot w. chicken broth, onions, garlic, 5 hours, then it easily shredded. As 2 of the 3 who would be eating this meal cannot tolerate much spice, I left out chiles & jalapeños. Also made the sauce last night, chopped up a little red bell pepper, white & green onions, 6 cloves of garlic, plus 1.5 tablespoons of a packet of taco seasoning while the cream cheese was melting. Had Mexican 4 Cheese shredded, so used that. By doing the sauce ahead of time, the flavors have a chance to really meld together. Today, I let everything get up to room temp before putting it together. Sprayed the dish and used red enchilada sauce to lightly coat the baking dish, then rolled everything in corn tortillas, drizzled more enchilada sauce on top along with Evaporated milk; baked 20 minutes covered in foil, 10 without the foil, then let sit for a few minutes. I served with Mexican rice, not homemade, will try that next time! We all agreed, even the spice loving one, that the level of spicy was perfect. We all had seconds and we have plenty left over! By the way, I baked these in my toaster oven, worked like a charm!

This is a wonderful recipe, restaurant quality. I did tweak one thing but it wasn't a significant tweak, just added about 1/2 cup of Carlita's mile enchilada sauce to the bottom of the baking dish before putting the enchiladas in there. I can only find Carlita's brand at Shoppers and normally we get the medium but they were out of it. Otherwise, and except for using low fat cream cheese, I kept everything else the same. It was delish and easier than most other recipes I've found for enchiladas! I served the Carlita's enchilada sauce on the side in case anyone wanted to use it. I should look for an enchilada sauce recipe on this site to use next time. The 10 inch toritillas are enormous, I think I could scale that down a bit and have slightly smaller enchiladas and more of them. Can't WAIT to have this as leftovers for lunch today. Served with Alan's Mom's Mexican Rice. Excellent recipe, will make this many more times, and thinking of having a margarita party this summer, I think I'll make these to go with it!

made exactly as directed except I used a homemade enchilada sauce. This recipe is delicious!

I made this exactly as the recipe instructed--something I rarely do--and this was the best chicken enchilada dish I've ever tasted! Rave reviews from my dinner party!

These taste okay I guess, The flavor is very rich. Not a bad dish.

I love this, my fave enchilada recipe!

I made two changes: I added fresh spinach to the chicken/cream cheese mix and I heated the heavy cream and thickened it a little with corn starch. I served salsa along side it and after initially tasting it, my teenage son added a LOT of salsa. He said that it tasted like chicken & cream cheese without the salsa. He also suggested that I rate it only one star (couldn't eat it) until I pointed out that he cleaned his plate. He responded by saying "it was dinner...only you & I are home...the polite thing to do it eat it." I don't think I'll make it again as I have other enchilada recipes that my entire family likes. If you make it, I suggest adding taco seasonings to the chicken as another reviewer mentioned.

Can't even describe how delicious these are. This recipe tasted just the way I had hoped for - indeed, the satisfaction quotient is absolutely off the charts. We gobbled them down!!

This was wonderful, I had company over for dinner the first time I tried it and everyone loved. They even asked for the recipe. I followed some of the other reviews and substituted chicken broth for the water. I also added a whole onion and green pepper to the filling. I will definitely be making this again!
