I made this tonight for the first time. It was very good. I made just a couple of changes. I used 3 cloves garlic instead of 5, 1 can green enchilada sauce instead of 2 and 3/4 a white onion instead of just 1/4. The next time I make this, and I will(!), I will mix sour cream into the chicken mix and maybe a little cheese. I thought even just the 1 can of sauce made it a little soupy, so I think this would thicken things up a little. It was very tasty and easy to make. I can see this being a favorite around my house!
