hey! i've made this! Where did you find the recipe?
This looks awesome! And EASY! I can't wait to try it! If we were still there we could have made it FOR you....just saying. :)
I just made this and I LOVED it! I loved the mix of sweet and spicy! (Warning: Don't use "hot" enchilada sauce...it was burning my mouth off and we couldn't share it with our baby.) :) I also loved that it was SOO easy and hardly created any dishes/mess, which is very important to me since I don't have a dishwasher.
Funny that you got and . . . an Asian comment! We just had this for dinner. I also like the easy, no messiness. The sweet and spicy was nice. I think I'll watch for these cans to go on sale as this could become a regular on our table. I'll make sure to return the favor and email Rach some of my easiest meals.
You Westy girls are awesome!
I thought it was a little TOO sweet with the creamed corn, and so I used regular corn the next time. It was a little more what I liked.
Also, as a bit of a Mexican food snob, I found that some red enchilada sauces taste like ketchup, while some give you the true red chile experience. You just have to check the ingredients to see if it is tomato sauce or chile sauce. I choose chile!
Also, the canned chicken from Costco, if you shred it, comes to about 2 cups, and that makes it SUPER easy!

I have to disagree with Chelsea about the sweetness--I love it with the creamed corn!
The one thing that I do change when I make this recipe (which is one of my favorites) is I do not cook it a full 15 minutes after the chicken has been added because I don't want the chicken to be too tough. I just wait until the cheese melts, and then I take it out.
YUM!
I love it just the way it is. Yum! Rach---Isn't your cornbread still a little soggy if you do it that way? Chels---Thanks for the tip on the chili sauce. I'm definitely taking note next time. Is there a certain brand that's good? Our ghetto supermarket only has old elpaso.
