Chicken Enchiladas from AllRecipes

For once, I actually didn't alter a recipe at all! But I wanted to share this one because it was just so good. Here's the link. They were very easy and tasty. They did make a lot more than the recipe yielded on the website - I had to bake two sets - but that was fine because the leftovers tasted great too. A little spicy, but not so much that I couldn't eat them, and I am pretty wimpy.

Do you have any New Year's resolutions to cook this year? I just bought a Taste of Home Healthy Recipe cookbook, and I plan to make quite a few of the recipes in there. I also want to try Beth's Blackberry and Brie Chicken.
