Chicken and Spinach Enchiladas

Chef 495452's Note:

These are excellent enchiladas. Yes, there really is spinach in them! They are very rich and very filling, you will be stuffed. My husband and I got them from my sister-in-law. My husband raved about them and then told me there was spinach in them and wanted me to try them. I told him he was crazy. Well I tried them and they are so good, and I don't even like spinach and he doesn't either. You have to try these!!! You will love them!

I like these as opposed to plain chicken with tomatoes and chilies. These are a great fall/winter dish..I make them with low fat sour cream and cream cheese!
