Use fresh boneless skinless breasts sliced and grilled or sauted then add the cooked chicken strips to the inside of Enchiladas with the cheese, then continue. Spice the raw chicken with cumin and or garlic, chili pepper before cooking!

This was so good! My guests raved about them. I used queso blanco cheese, and the rich sauce complimented it very well. Thank you!

OMG!!! This recipe is a new family favorite! My picky 10 year old even loved it! I would not change a single thing. I would not even dare add chicken or anything else to this! Highly Highly recommended! A different twist on the beef enchilada! Thank you posting this one

I'm not a fan of cheese enchiladas but I made them for my kids (minus the onions). I wasn't going to eat some but they smelled and looked really good so I did and I was not disappointed at all. These were good...thanks!
