  I tweaked the recipe quite a bit, including baking the enchilladas in the oven. Overall yummy recipe and with mushrooms or peppers it goes miles! Chocolate and chilli are a good combo but I feel it needs a magic ingredient to finish it off...

  I'm a little confused. The recipe states to simmer the chicken in 300ml of water. This you need to keep hold of for the recipe, but that in the end uses 450ml, so where does the extra 150ml come from? I think also I'd be tempted to use red kidney beans, red pepper and some mushrooms to bulk it out a bit, to use some veg (healthy). I feel the chicken and sauce wouldn't be enough on its own. Lovely sounding recipe though and with a bit of tweaking id be happy to make this. I'd like to prove to my fella that these can be lovely. In the past he has bought these preprepared from the supermarket, i want to prove to him that home-made ones are sooo much better.

  This is superb, doesn't need bulking out, very filling served with a salsa. Re the water just poach chicken in more water and you're golden!

  I've made this a couple of times now. I think the blandness may come if to much water is added, so be careful with this. I also found that using an ancho chili didnt really give it the necessary kick, it was much nicer with a regular red chili, anyone else find this?

  The chicken will be bland and terrible from just reading the recipe. Poaching chicken is a mistake. It will have a terrible chickeny taste. Saute rather and use stock
