Reader Recipe Request: Chicken Enchiladas To some chicken enchiladas are a dime a dozen and I would have to agree. I have tried chicken enchiladas from every Mexican restaurant within a 50 mile radius and I would come to the same conclusion: I’ll make my own. The following recipe is derived from an idea that was given to my wife in 1975 from a Mexican girl in the desert in southern California. The problem with most chicken enchilada recipes is that the chicken is first boiled and then immediately shredded. This leaves the chicken dry and b...
