Five-Star Chicken Enchiladas image

Going out on a limb with that name, but that's how we rate these little beauties! Make up a batch of my Mexican Gravy/Enchilada Sauce, and you're all set to make this recipe--otherwise just use canned enchilada sauce from the store.

Yield 12 enchiladas, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups cooked chicken meat
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies
