These were great, the salsa by itself is so easy and delicious, I make it all the time for nachos, quesadillas and to bring to parties as an appetizer. You can make the enchiladas so much faster by making the tomatillo salsa the day before-- it tastes better after a day, too. The first time I made this the chicken itself was lacking in flavor, but to remedy that I just put the chicken and salsa in a pan and heated them through before adding the thickened flour and chicken stock mixture. Make sure to add lots of cheese inside the enchiladas. And- do not add sour cream into the filling! I did the first time and it was terrible. The second time, without, it was delicious.

We make this at least 1-2 times per month. If I'm in a hurry, I'll use store-bought verde and canned chilis -- and it's still fantastic! I've even doubled the quantity and frozen filling for future dinner ease. I can't rave enough.

Oh this is yummy. But had to change it around a bit. I too cheated & bought bottled salsa verde. After reading other reviews I followed the filling recipe, but used 2 14 oz. cans of broth instead of the full 4 cups. When it came time to fill enchiladas, my mother (who lives with us) tasted the "mild" salsa verde & said it's way too hot for her...so, improvise, overcome, adapt. Instead, using an 8 x 8 dish, layered all the ingredients with one layer of cheese in the middle, then topped with nice layer of cheese. Came right to top of pan. Baked until cheese was bubbly & slightly browned. Came out moist & delicious. There was still plenty of moisture in filling mix to moisten tortillas. And the leftovers were great. Think maybe next time will use pepper jack cuz mom can handle that and will give a little kick. Served with bottled green sauce on side, sour cream and sliced avocados. Everyone loved it.

I am a 29 year old mexican-american woman, who has been raised & taught how to cook mexican food since I was 10 years old. I have always prided myself in knowing how to cook authentic mexican food without the americanized short-cuts, etc..I have always been skeptical to try mexican recipes that weren't "traditional". I love Tyler Florence & have tried so many of his other recipes & have never been disappointed. I just never thought to try his mexican food dishes. My cousin came over & made these for me one day, I fell in love with them. When she told me they were Tyler's, I made them the next day! My husband loves these! They are work, but less work than the average authentic mexican food recipe. I won't be so skeptical in the future...now if only I could get Tyler to come up with an authentic Green Corn Tamale recipe, I'd be ecstatic!

These are awesome. The easiest way I have found to blacken the pepper skins is to cut them in half, seed them and flatten before I broil them...Sooo much easier because I don't have to keep flipping . I use green onion tops in the tomatillo salsa instead of reg. onion. Be prepared for lots of requests for this dish.

My family loved this dish. I love green chile salsas so I was looking for a recipe w/all the right ingredients, and Tyler's fit the bill perfectly. It IS a half day in the kitchen but totally worthwhile. But I made my own chicken stock using whole chickens, shredded the meat and used that instead of a deli roasted one. It's a very authentic dish too. Being Mexican, i am kinda particular about Mexican food recipes being too Americanized, and this one isn't. A real treat, Tyler! Thanks!

These enchiladas were so delicious! The salsa verde was good and it had awesome flavor. I added extra flour to thicken it up and it turned out great. I didnt change anything else. The only thing I had to watch was the amount of lime in the guacamole...my avacados were a little small so it turned out too limey. But, I will definitely make it again!

Based on the very positive reviews posted by other members, I wanted to try this recipe, but it sounded like it was a lot of work. Cutting out the homemade salsa verde and guacamole seemed to do the trick. I used a good organic brand of salsa verde. Also, instead of using 3 poblanos (couldn't find them in my grocery store) I used 3 cubanelles and 1 jalapeno. I lightly sauteed them before adding them to the chicken mixture. Other members also complained about the watery-ness of the mixture; I just made sure to reduce it for ~10-15 min down to a gravy like consistency. Lastly, I used soft taco size tortillas and was able to fit 6 perfectly in a 9x13 bakind dish. With these modifications, the dish came out really amazing and was very easy.

This recipe has more then the average number of steps, but it is so easy yet so authentic it's really worth the try. I've substituted left over roast pork for the chicken and it turns out just fine. I suspect that finding good fresh plump tomatillos may be the hardest part of this recipe.

When I saw Tyler making this, I thought it looked delicious. I had a similar recipe made with canned soup and thought I'd rather make a fresher / from-scratch version. What a mistake. The preparation took forever and when I was finished, my family was starving and unimpressed. This type of recipe is easily copied in a much easier fashion - and tastes better as well. Overall the flavor and presentation was not worth the extra effort.

Great taste; needs experienced cook.
01/24/2006 at 10:17am
User: Michael from Phoenix, AZ    User Rating:
The taste is true to the ingredients of the dish. If you like tart tomatillo-driven sauces, full of cilantro and green chile, you'll love this one. Issues: Had to add twice the amount of flour called for in the recipe in order to thicken the filling. This required making a roux in a separate pan and adding the filling mixture that didn't thicken with just 1/4 cup of flour. The filling was still VERY runny, and an inexperienced cook could easily get very frustrated. The filling doesn't stay in the tortilla, and the chances of actually getting a filled tortilla into the pan is practically nil. Having made enchiladas for years, I knew to just get it all in the pan and it would bake up just fine. But, if you plan to serve these to guests as individual enchiladas, forget this recipe, as written. You end up with a soupy casserole that didn't "set". I would add at least 3 extra poblanos, and a lot more chicken next time. I would also cut the chicken broth back to 2 cups. That might bring the filling to a point of actually being able to fill the tortilla.

This was a bit more time consuming than I expected -- but the results were worth it. A few changes: I used flour tortillas instead, had to boil the chicken broth/onion/flour mixture for a long time (and add more flour) to get it thick enough (may only use 3 cups next time?). Also - the tomatillo salsa is probably the easiest part of the whole recipe, so if you can find them in your area, I would try to use fresh. That part really didn't take much time or effort.

Just by watching the show I knew these enchiladas had to be good! I had trouble finding tomatillos in Michigan but was able to find a decent "off the shelf" salsa verde.

I am trying again this weekend and after reading all of these reviews I think I will be able to perfect them! Thank you, Tyler - you are the best!!

Moving on to the comida. I must admit he had me reminiscing of my mother's authentic mexican (Jalisco)food. He really does an incredible job! Looked just like my mom's enchiladas!!

User: Robert from Tigard, OR    User Rating:
Prepare to order pizza if you are going to follow this recipe: It is loaded with mistakes. This recipe says "serves 4." Maybe 4 families! I was short on the chicken 1/2# and still fed 6 for dinner yesterday and we will probably feed 4 again with the leftovers tonight. 3# chicken for 4 people? That's 12oz each! Two enchiladas with 6 oz chicken? One chicken breast is about 6 oz. Plus cheese, onions, peppers, guacamole, tortilla, sauce on top? Is Tyler trying to fatten us up? My next gripe is the amount of liquid to add to the sauteed onions. I measured about 3 cups and after pouring in more than 2 cups I could see all I was making was onion soup. There's no way that mixture will thicken so much liquid with 1/4 C flour. I poured off 2 cups of liquid and added about 3 Tbsp corn starch slurry to get the remainder to thicken. Next: Microwaving tortillas and dipping them in the tomatillo sauce does not work. Corn tortillas do not get pliable enough using that method. I only tried two that way as I was skeptical going in. Both split open within minutes of being rolled. Finally, just fold the shredded cheese in with the meat mixture: then you don't have to dip your hands into more than one thing.

I am Hispanic, raised cooking Mexican food. I make green chicken enchiladas very similar to the way you make them. However, one thing I do differently is heat a small amount of oil in a skillet and first dip a corn tortilla in, both sides, remove it and then dip it in the green salsa. I then follow the rest of your instructions. I must say that your chicken filling is delicioso. Muchas Gracias!!!

The only thing I did differently was using flour tortillas instead of corn, and I didn't make the guacamole. Oh, and I stewed some chicken breasts slowly in broth, cooled them, and shredded them instead of buying a roasted chicken. This recipe was on the spicy side, but authentic in flavor, and IMPRESSIVE!

Instead of rolling enchiladas up I layered corn tortillas, chicken mixture, tomatillo salsa and cheese (I used three layers of corn tortillas ending up with salsa and cheese on top) It worked out perfectly - was great not even mushy, very firm.

I was a little frustrated with this recipe - I didn't watch the show, but my husband did. AFTER I added the 4 cups of chicken stock (as the recipe calls for), my husband says "Wait, Tyler only used like a cup". Needless to say, I now know why a few others that tried this recipe said it was "runny". Also, I only used 3/4 of a pepper verses the THREE that it called for. This dish would have been way too hot for sensitive eaters. I will say that with my own modifications, this was a really yummy dish. Before I make it again, I will make sure to watch the re-run of Tyler:)

I wasn't a big fan of the salsa verde so at the last minute, I had to run to the store and get green enchilada sauce to use. So, I cheated. But they still came out excellent and no one suspected that I used canned sauce to dip my tortillas in and to cover the enchiladas with. Later on, I tasted the salsa again and it was pretty good. So, I just hadn't waited long enough for the flavors to infuse. Overall, this dish was great.




Green Chile was SO much better than canned

It was fairly easy, getting the roasted chicken was such a great idea and a real time saver. I was all cleaned up by the time the enchiladas went in the oven, not too messy! My husband, colleagues, friends and neighbors loved this.

I have revised this recipe a bit but my family loves it!! To make it quicker I use a can of store bought enchilada sauce and I add a few things extra. Such as mushrooms, my homemade hot dried pepper powder and pepper jack cheese. Also I make two pans and seal one with the food saver and freeze. It tastes just as good from the freezer. I highly recommend this recipe!!

This is by far the best enchilada recipe I have tried. The green sause over the enchilada's was also very simple and good. The green sauce stores for a while and it also good on other things. It also was very quick to make.

This was so good that we might not be going out for mexican as much as we use to. We gained a little more confidence with some of the spices and are looking forward to having company over for a very affordable and relaxing evening. It's fun to cook as a couple and this recipe was perfect for us. We will now be growing tomatillos to make our own green salsa.

These are the best enchiladas ever!!! I'm not big on enchiladas but....I just had to try them after watching the show. My girlfriend loved them. Now I have to make them for my daughter and her partner who is Mexican. Can't wait for them to indulge. The poblanos make the filling. I didn't cheat on any part of the recipe. Even made refried beans from scatch. Used peruvian beans...very tasty.

I was not happy with the flavor of the salsa. I think the tomatillos are a little too bitter for me. You may want to try using regular salsa instead. The inside ingredients for enchiladas is excellent.

These were really good. Tomatillos have their own natural tartness, so you have to be careful with the amount of lime juice you add to the salsa. If you watch the episode, Tyler doesn't roast the poblanos, just adds them in to the sauteed onion and garlic. Much quicker than roasting & peeling, and I don't think anything's lost by simply saute'ing. Overall, very good, and I'll definitely make it again.

I live in New England but am formerly from Austin, Texas so I know my Mexican food. Made these for my husband's birthday last night and -WOW- are they good! I made a big ol' mess in the kitchen and loved every minute of it. They filling was a little more liquid than I'm used to when I make enchiladas from scratch, but they turned out incredibly delicious. These are the best I've ever made and some of the best I've ever eaten in my life. Tyler, you are THE MAN! Thank you!!

Taste Great...just watch out for too much liquid in the filling combining with maybe too much salsa verde at the end. Corn Tacos couldn't take it! Disintegrated into mushy mess as others have discovered. As I said, great taste and even better aroma. Back to drawing board.

I prepared this for my wife & friends a couple of weeks ago. Very easy. You can prepare the chicken / stock mixture in advance and then roll the enchiladas just before baking - the flavors mingle and intensify. I also cheated by using canned salsa verde (Herdez). Be sure and use a good Mexican soft cheese, like Cacique. My wife and friends claim it is THE BEST they have ever eaten. Being from Dallas TX - Home of TEX-MEX (El Fenix was the first in 1917), that is saying a lot.

These enchiladas are absolutely delicious.

I roasted my own chicken but substituted store bought salasa verde.

I found this very easy. I didn't have all the ingredients so I improvised. I bought the salsa verde. Very good tasting. I have never had it before. I also used grilled chicken that I had left over. I used Canned green chilies instead of poblamos. Worked great. I do wish I would have fried the shells in a little oil first to make them easier to work with. I had some filling left over so i made a taco out of it for my lunch. We will have this for dinner. Can't wait to see what everyone thinks. Great recipe. Will definately make again.

This was a great recipe! It was a little labor intensive, a lot of chopping and dicing, but that's what I love about cooking. Hands on! The only caveat I have for this recipe is the coriander. If you are not accustomed to coriander, cut the quantities in half. You will still get the flavour without thr bite! Great taste in this recipe!

I just finished making this, and boy, am I exhausted. It made a lot more than anticipated, and took me quite a while. Definately don't make this on a Friday night after you've had a long week. Next time I won't roast my chile's, because that proved to be the biggest frustration of all. It makes a TON of food, and I followed the recipe to the tee. I have leftover chicken mix and sauce, so I can make enchiladas later in the week- which makes the time and effort worthwhile.

So that's how they make that sauce. Yum! I actually wish I had watched the show before I made the dish, then I wouldn't have had to go to all the trouble of roasting the green chiles for the "Roasted Green Chile"-Chicken Enchiladas. All sarcasm aside, these were absolutely, completely, utterly, without-a-doubt awesome!!! I used flour instead of corn tortillas because I figured my kindergartener would be more apt to eat them. He gobbled down three, but he unrolled them and just ate the filling anyway. So, next time I'll use corn. The recipe was on HTBW the day after I made them. By the end of the show, I a hot plate of the leftovers in front of me. Couldn't wait until the show was over. Thanks Tyler.

My husband and Mom inhaled these enchiladas. I always make turkey enchiladas after Thanksgiving, and I can still use Turkey instead of Chicken. But mine were always so dry and not extremely flavorful. All the fresh vegies made this dish wonderful! I agree, there is some time involved, but I love to cook, so that is very seldom an issue. I used a combination of sharp cheddar, Asadero mexi cheese and Fresco cheese and the combo was great. I use quit a bit of cheese. Also served some Mexi corn along with the quacamole and sour cream. This is a KEEPER!
