G's WHITE CHICKEN ENCHILADASGuest Chef G’s WHITE CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

There are countless recipes available for chicken enchiladas, and many people have a “favorite” one. Well this is my favorite for White Chicken Enchiladas. I actually adapted it from a recipe by Ree Drummond, Food Network’s Pioneer Woman. It is slightly elaborate, but not difficult at all. However, the wonderful flavor of the enchiladas is well worth the effort.

As always I encourage you to have fun, be creative, and make it your own…BON APPÉTIT!  ~Chef G
