    Tips
  6. 6
    You can easily adapt this recipe to your liking by adjusting the heat for the enchilada sauce and salsa verde (mild, medium, hot). I like to use mild for both and add the heat with hot sauce on my own that way everyone is happy.
  7. 7
    Serve with your favorite Mexican side dishes- corn, rice, beans, chips, guac and salsa. Our favorite sides Cilantro Lime Rice and Mexican Sweet Corn Cake!
  8. 8
    For me, hot sauce is a must-have with this chicken I use Cholula Hot Sauce (no affiliation, just a fan).
