Chicken Cheese Enchilada Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Your family will just love this chicken cheese enchilada recipe with green mole sauce. The sauce has a unique and wonderful flavor that always pleases. I have brought it to different functions over the years and it is always a show stopper. 

A friend of mine gave me the original recipe for these green chicken enchiladas as she called them. Over the years I have altered the recipe, changed some of the ingredients to fit the eating habits that I try to adhere to nowadays.

There is a little bit of prep work involved here, but this enchilada recipe is really sublime. The green enchilada sauce makes a unique and tasty alternative to regular red enchilada sauce.

Here are the main recipes I like.
