This recipe is exceptional. The only deviation I made was in order to save time, I prepared the chicken breasts in the crockpot with a teaspoon of seasoned salt and a teaspoon of poultry seasoning. Also, I didn't have chili powder on hand so I used 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne instead. Excellent!

WOW! As a native Texan, I was hesitant to try this. But try it I did, and it's excellent despite its non traditional style. I rarely comment on recipes, but my wife and I agree that this one deserves kudos.

I made several minor changes:
- I added carrots and celery while cooking the chicken
- I used lite sour cream and lite cream cheese
- I added chile powder to the filling
- I couldn't find the soup mix, so I used poultry seasoning and chicken stock

This is a terrific change of pace from traditional chicken enchiladas... and it's easy, too!

This has to be the best recipe I have tried for Enchiladas. It is seriously tasty and creamy ! Love the concept of Lipton Cup O Soup for the sauce on top.

The recipe makes 10 LARGE portions. Two thumbs up on this recipe!! Thanks Mindy !!
