Chicken and Cheese Enchiladas image

A little different version of a family favorite. Whenever we grill or smoke chicken I always request that my husband do a little extra, so that there is enough to make chicken enchiladas the next night.

I'm not a fan of chicken enchiladas, but I decided to give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The enchiladas were very flavorful and cheesy. I will definitely be making these again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my enchiladas turned out dry. I think I might have overcooked them. I'll try again next time and cook them for a shorter amount of time.

These enchiladas were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think next time I'll use a milder green chili sauce.

I've made these enchiladas several times now, and they're always a hit with my family. I love that I can make them ahead of time and then just pop them in the oven when I'm ready to serve.

These enchiladas were easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought green chili sauce to save time, and it worked perfectly. I also added some black beans and corn to the filling for extra flavor.

I'm not a huge fan of enchiladas, but these were surprisingly good! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the cheese was melted and gooey. I especially liked the green chili sauce.
