Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and saute 2 minutes. Add chicken and saute 5 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove half of the chicken and reserve for another use.

I would feel wrong to rate this recipe less than 5 stars because I used it as inspiration but made it with different ingredients. However, I wanted to know why 2 pounds of chicken is called for when only half of that is used in the recipe and why Broccoli and other Vegs are listed when they are not in the recipe at all.

When I made this I left out the salsa and green chillies and substituted the flour tortillas for corn. Also instead of making them into enchiladas... I did more of a toastada type of thing. This is a really good versatile recipe! :

awful, just awful. I don't know if a different salsa would have made a difference,but this recipe was lacking-to say the least. Ill never make it again.
