This recipe is definitely what it says it is...easy! It's also very tasty if you like chicken enchiladas and it makes a big portion, so you can feed several people or have leftovers for days. To save time, I just fry the chicken instead of baking and I always add jalapenos for a little kick and extra sour cream on the side. But besides that, I follow the recipe as it is and it's yummy! - 25 May 2009
