Chicken Enchiladas

kelly jean's Note:

Jamie gave this recipe to me back in our college days. :) I like to use a rotisserie chicken from the grocery deli for this recipe. I always use the leftover chicken for something.

My family loved this one (although my son would have preferred more chiles; he likes things hot). I did use leftover Thanksgiving turkey in place of the chicken and, like another reviewer, the mix of Cheddar and Jack cheeses. The result was a creamy filling and delicious sauce.

This was very easy to prepare and pretty tasty..it wasn't one of my most favorites but it is something I would make again because it is easy and although not my favorite enchilada it was still pretty good! Thank you for sharing!

This is a great enchilada recipe. I followed the directions except I used white corn tortillas, personal preference as well as a combination of cheddar and jack cheese on top. This was nice and creamy and very flavorful. I used a rostissere chicken as suggested and it made this dish come together quickly. Thanks for sharing another great recipe Kelly. (Made for FALL PAC 08)
