Chicken Stuffed Chiles Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Cinco de Mayo Recipes. (Chicken Stuffed Chiles Recipe). You can make this as spicy and hot or as mild as you like depending on the enchilada sauce you use. We like it mild, so I use the kind in an envelope and mix it with tomato sauce and some extra chicken broth. Others might use the can sauce, or use the envelope kind but no added chicken broth, or make your own. Serve with Spanish rice and a salad to complete the meal.
