Good weeknight dinner, better the second night. Needs some umph! We added Cholula which improved it. I also added three cloves of garlic with the onions and it still was lacking flavor. Next time I'd add more spices, olives, green onions, avocado and maybe some fresh cilantro on top to make it more tasty.

Good alternative to making enchiladas which can be a bit more labor intensive. Flavor is decent, but a little bland. Could be made better with some additions as others have suggested, but overall it was easy and I liked it.

Cornbread? Either you reviewed the wrong recipe or decided to alter it by eliminating a bunch of ingredients and adding in cornbread. If it's the latter, you should not review this recipe because you've altered it enough to be too far removed from the original.

Just made this recipe and it was fabulous!! The key to having good body to Cassarole is allowing it to sit at least 10 min after out of oven. I used 4 Mexican cheese blend in the chicken mixture and all Monterrey Jack on top....with tostitos cantina chips crumbled on top of MJ cheese. I also cut my time by using a rotisserie chicken and only needed one sauce pan. Will make this at least once or twice a month. Added some refried beans, sour cream and fresh guacamole and that just put my Mexican feast over the top!!

This was a good recipe, but I feel like the chicken probably should have some sort of seasoning prior to cooking. It wasn't as bland as I expected, probably thanks to the enchilada sauce, but it certainly could use a little something. I would think even a little packaged taco seasoning would be good. But it really is a good recipe as is, especially if you have kids that don't care if something is not as seasoned as we adults would prefer.

My family loves this recipe. I have short cut it by using rotisserie chicken. Simply bake the cornbread, poke holes in it and pour in the enchilada sauce; top with shredded chicken then cheese and bake. Very easy and delicious. Serve with a salad and sour cream - kids are happy!

This was so good! I gave it 4 stars because I did do some tweaking per other reviews. I seasoned my chicken before cooking with salt, pepper, cumin, cayenne pepper, chilli powder, onion powder, and garlic powder. I had thick chicken breast so they took a lot longer to cook and I had to keep adding liquid to the pan. I used 2% milk instead of evaporated milk because that's what I had on hand. I used half a can of mild enchilada sauce and half a can of hot enchilada sauce. I also added black beans and some chopped up jalapenos to the mixture. It was spicy but we like it like that! forgot the chips but that's ok because it came out very delicious!!! My boyfriend loved it too! Will definitely make again!

I'm giving this 3 stars because I think it is a great base recipe. But like many other CL recipes, it doesn't have enough seasonings....including the basics like salt and pepper when preparing meat! I added substantially at each step; fresh garlic, S/P, cumin, cayenne. Added a can of pinto beans to the mixture. Topped individual portions w/ chopped tomatoes and green onions. With the alterations it was delicious and I'll make it again. Will add a little cilantro next time.

I liked the cooking technique for the chicken - as other folks suggested, I added cumin, chili powder and some garlic during cooking. However, the final dish was not something my family enjoyed very much - they termed it 'edible' but asked me not to make this again per this recipe. Instead, they prefer an alternative method where I: use a 3 quart casserole dish, 8 inch flour tortillas, enchilada sauce, chicken, corn, black beans, black olives, cilantro, shredded cheese (and sometimes raisins, almonds or other goodies). Pour a bit of enchilada sauce in the dish, stack with tortilla. Then build layer with a bit of chix, corn, bean, olive, cilantro, cheese, etc. Add another tortilla, repeat building process. When near the top of the casserole dish, pour 1 3/4 cans of enchilada sauce over the stack (We like Hatch mild or medium). Top with a bit more shredded cheese and bake at 300 for an hour. So I might steal the chix prep from this recipe but finish the dish my way.

I actually slow cooked the chicken breast on low for 5 hours in the chicken stock with one can of jalepenos and then shredded when I got home and threw the rest of the casserole together. Will be making this again.

A good base for a delicious dish. To kick up the flavor profile, I added more onion and 2 cloves of garlic sauteed in cumin and chili powder, and used a can of Rotel instead of just green chiles. I added a can of black beans and one of corn to the final mixture and cut back on the 1 cup of cheese (which was just a RF shredded Mexican Cheese Mix.) I also added more of a kick by using Medium enchilada sauce. Before layering the dish, I tested the mixture and found that it could still use a bit more seasoning, so in went more cumin and chili powder. I really liked the flavor of the salty crunch of the tortilla chips on top, so when serving, I added a bit more to the individual plates (there were bits at the bottom of the bag anyway!) Yum-O!!

I can't believe how good this is...I don't usually care for Mexican. There is only 2 of us, so i cut the entire recipe in half. The chicken did take much longer than 15 minutes to cook, so I had to add more liquid to the pan, due to evaporation. I used a 2% pre-shredded Mexican cheese blend and 2- 10" multi-grain tortillas. It came out awesome! Next time I will make the full recipe so that I have more leftovers!

I made this for dinner last night and it was very tasty! I only gave it 3 stars because I added a bunch of stuff to it which I think made it just that much better. First I cooked the chicken in the chicken broth and chiles but I added some salsa, garlic power, paprika, salt, black pepper, cumin, and onion powder. To the final mixture I added a can of black beans and a can of corn. I used a shredded mexican cheese blend in place of both the cheddar and the monterey jack. I also used about 8 whole grain 6inch tortillas instead of 12 corn tortillas. I also threw some sliced jalapeños on top for some extra spice. This came out really rich and creamy so I think I will skip the evaporated milk next time. The boyfriend loved how it came out though! Will be making my version again soon!

This is a great recipe that you can adjust based on taste and what you have available. I boiled the chicken in 1 quart chicken stock seasoned with 1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp ground black pepper, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1 T dried parsley and 1/2 T onion powder. I shredded the chicken and followed the recipe for the sauce with a few exceptions. I didn't have any evaporated milk so I used regular 2 percent milk and it worked fine. I used 1 cup of reserved cooking liquid. I also added 3/4 tsp of chopped garlic, 1 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp cumin and a little parsley and black pepper. I served with some fresh chopped cilantro on top, salsa and sour cream. Very good!

This isn't a company-type of dish, but it is really pretty darned good. I cooked the chicken breast in a can of tomatoes with diced chiles and extra can of mild diced chiles on a low heat, then shredded it back into the sauce, then followed the directions. Served with sour cream, diced avocado and extra cheese. It was very tasty and not that time-consuming. Husband loved it. Will make again for sure.

Very good basic recipe. I always use shredded rotisserie chicken and add roasted cumin and red pepper flakes to the sauce to add a little more flavor and kick. 2% or skim milk works just fine if you don't have the canned evaporated. Your favorite salsa can easily be substituted for the enchillada sauce. I also top it with sliced pickled jalapenos and scallions before baking, then top with salsa and sour cream after baking. A simple salad with tomatoes and sliced avocado goes nicely with the casserole.

QUICK AND EASY if you use rotisserie chicken. I cut up chicken into small pieces (didn't shred). Sauteed onion and green chilies, onion, garlic powder, chili powder and cumin to spice it up. Did not use chicken stock - didn't need it since chicken was already cooked. Added rest of ingredients as directed except I didn't have evaporated milk, so used half and half - came out great! Baked for 20 minutes - my picky 14 year old loved it along with rest of family. Would serve as a weekly dinner - half left over for tonight. Try this one!

Then I just used chicken broth instead of the "cooking liquid" when making the filling. So I ended up using only 1 can of green chiles which was fine for our taste. Would recommend for a nice family meal.

Despite not being very hot or spicy, this has a wonderful green chile flavor and the chicken is very tender. I might add more spice but would not substitute hot peppers for the green chiles because I like the green chile flavor. It tastes kinda like good chicken enchiladas with green sauce. I would definitely make it again and might add more spices but that's about all I'd change. It's very easy to make and makes a great weeknight dinner (or weekday/weekend lunch).

Fairly good base recipe. Making chicken this way in the broth is simple but I HATE shredding it. To add flavor I added garlic and onion powder, paprika, cumin, chili powder and maybe cayenne (can't remember) to the broth mix. I also used half canned hot green chiles and half fresh green chiles that we roast and freeze ourselves (in substitute for one can). I used a little extra cheese because I like a cheesy topping and I found the edges of my casserole were a bit too dry after baking so be conscious of the amount of liquid and add more if needed. Overall a good recipe for family dinners but definitely season the chicken and broth when cooking and use hot enchilada sauce and hot chiles (unless you can't take any spice)!
