Six chicken breasts was alot. Four would be plenty. 1Lb. of Monterey Jack.
Flavor was mild and rich-delicious. The kids enjoyed as well.

This was a good dish. I went with the 4 chicken breasts instead of 6. 4 was enough. Everyone loved it.

Awesome recipe! I've made several versions of Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas, but this one if my favorite. I made it for company last night and they were scraping the dish for more! I did mix the chicken and onion together with 1 can of green enchilada sauce and I used white corn tortillas....YUM!

I used corn tortillas and 12 chicken tenders strips, cooks faster than the whole breast. Instead of rolling the tortillas I layered them and put sauce in each layer.

I used 1.4 pounds of chicken tenders (which I shredded) and Pepper Jack cheese instead.

This is a very good recipe.

I've made this but have a couple of alterations to share...I boil the chicken in chicken broth rather than water. I throw a can of tomatillos in the cuisinart and chop them up. In a big bowl I mix up the cheese, shredded chicken, tomatillos, and onions and then stuff the tortillas. Lastly, I double the sauce and put some in the bottom of the pan as well as over the enchiladas. They freeze really nicely too!
