This recipe calls for 3-4 chicken breasts. How much loose chicken meat does that mean? -
How many points -
Is there anyway you can remove the nutritional statement as it takes up a lot of space when I go to print. I'm not interested in the nutritional or at least give us the opportunity to select nutritional if somebody requires it! My of the other recipe formats offer the option, nutritional or NOT. -
Would these be ok to make the day before,but not cook them?

These are delicious!!! I use larger flour tortillas for my guys. I also use my homemade fajita marinade and grill the chicken instead of boiling which adds a lot of flavor. Plus a little can of diced green chilies and a scoop of sour cream in the mixture. -
So good! I only had one can of sauce so I added some corn and diced tomatoes to the innards and it turned out awesome! I will be making this again. -
WONDERFUL! I followed the recipe exactly and these were so good! My 9-year-old son was going on and on about it and he never does that! It was a hit with the whole family. Can't wait to make this again--thanks for such a great recipe! :o)

This was so easy and tasty. I added some cumin& my special blend.I am sharing with neighbors, along with some simple Spanish rice. -
Very easy & very yummy! I used a store bought Rotisserie chicken & picked the meat off to save time. Only makes about 8-10 enchiladas that way though. Top with a dollop of sour cream & enjoy! Thanks for the easy recipe!

Did a vegetarian version with black bean, sauté onions, mushrooms, spinach, green chili’s... very good!

I topped it with sour cream and salsa for added freshness and served it with rice and beans on the side. It was delicious! -
I cheated and bought the roasted chickens from Price Chopper and followed the rest of this recipe. My family loved this! I made an extra pan thinking I could freeze and use later but no such luck.... They ate BOTH pans in less than 48 hours:) -
We used red enchilada sauce instead of green, and added some chopped onion. This was yummy and we will definitely make it again. Thanks! -
