Simple Extra Creamy Chicken Enchiladas W/Cilantro & Chilies

Submitted by TheShields

"This recipe originally came from a neighbor, but has been tweaked to fit our tastes. The one thing that makes it different from all the other creamy chicken enchilada recipes is the cilantro. It adds a wonderful flavor to the extra creamy sauce. My family and friends request these enchiladas on a regular basis. I'm always handing out the recipe, so I figured I would post it here. I hope you enjoy. I generally serve these with sliced avocados on the side."
