delicious, made them last night with leftover roasted chicken and corn tortillas. What a great filling. I will make them again using my frozen green chiles to make a sauce, but this time I was trying to use a jar of Jardine's salsa. I used the Salsa Verde and it worked great. I served them with Mexican rice from Cook's Illustrated, fresh tomato salsa and guacamole.http://www.finerkitchens.com/swap/forum16/61_Dawn/MOs_Creamy_Chicken_Enchiladas
Thanks Dawn and Michael for the Creamy Chicken Enchiladas. They were

But even then they don't stay there long....
I made them last weekend and froze the leftovers since only DH and ate them. He's finished off all the frozen ones this week. Definitely a keeper!

Dawn, a question: I made these a while back and they were wonderful, (don't know if I thanked you.)
I bought a can of "Green Enchilada Sauce" at the Mexican market nearby, and I was surprised at how translucent it was, with bits of chiles floating. I was expecting a chunkier salsa verde and thought I'd made a mistake, but from your answer to Curious' earlier post maybe I bought the right can after all. Did I?
I thought the filling was amazing and it might make a good wonton filling.

Hi Joe...
it sounds like you bought the right enchilada sauce. It is rather thin and not chunky at all. After reading the ingredient list on the enchilada sauce, I am going to try making mine next time. I used to be able to get the large cans of green chiles at Smart and Final, they would be perfect for making a large batch of sauce like this. What a great idea to use it for wonton filling. I have wanted to use shrimp in the filling recipe too, but just haven't gotten around to it. I have also made a soup from a tweaked version of the filling that turned out really good. All this talk about them has me craving them now. (smile)
