In reply to B.. Personally I would say no, but it might be fine for you. Everyone has different food preferences.

You had me at sour cream and cream cheese! I’ve just discovered this recipe and was wondering if the taste is comparable when using no fat, sour cream and Neufchâtel cheese?

In reply to Lisa. I'm afraid I don't weigh the chicken breasts. Google tells me an average chicken breast is 6 ounces. I use the breasts that come wrapped two in a package from Costco and they are a bit bigger than average, so I would estimate 8 ounces, but that's as close as I can guess. If you make the recipe you could weigh yours and then you'd be able to very accurately calculate the nutrition of the version you make.

Chicken breast sizes can vary greatly…how much chicken (by weight) was actually used in your recipe and included in the macros?

In reply to Sharon. Did you see this part of the recipe? "Let sauce cool a few minutes, then whisk in the softened cream cheese and sour cream." Once you have added those to the reduced sauce you'll have enough to put some over the top.

Question about the sauce. If I reduce it to 2 cups, then put 1-1/2 cups in chicken mixture and 1/2 cup on bottom of dish, there is none left to go on top. Are the measurements correct? Should it be just 1/2 cup or 1 cup in chicken mixture? This looks delicious and I can’t wait to make it!

In reply to Mimi. Yes, it says at the end of the recipe "This freezes well can be thawed and reheated in a microwave or toaster oven." I do think the tortillas are softer when it's been frozen and reheated, but still pretty good.

Can these be frozen and then reheated?

I managed to get the calorie count per enchilada to 285 and 5g net carbs. The main thing that I think reduced the carb count was that I used Mama Lupe's low carb tortillas that are bigger than the mission tortillas but have 3g net carbs per tortilla. I also used Baker's Reserve Philadelphia cream cheese which is 1g carb per oz. instead of the usual 2g. The enchilada sauce that I used was the Las Palmas Green Chile Enchilada sauce that has 3g carbs per 1/4 cup or 14g carbs for 28oz. They were absolutely delicious and very filling, I will be making this again very soon!
