Creamy Chicken Enchiladas
"This is an interesting twist to traditional chicken enchiladas! One of my family's favorite recipes! You can make this as mild or hot as you like by adjusting the amount of jalapenos you use. I have tried this with canned chicken to speed up the prep time, but didn't like it near as much."
