Once I tasted the sauce, I quit following the rest of the directions and used the chicken for barbeque sandwiches and the sauce as a cheese dip for corn tortillas because I didn't want to ruin the meat by adding that sauce. The color and texture of it, for me, just wasn't right.

Quite good & rather an easy spin on chili rellenos. I had no cream cheese, so substituted Greek yogurt, because in my home we could do without all those extra cheese calories. It came out good in spite of that. It went very well with the salad I served with it. <\/p>
My son tried to eat most of it, so I will definitely be making it again!<\/p>

I agree with others, especially that one package of cornbread mix is plenty. We also thought that the \"sauce\" was really cheese heavy. Next time I'll use half the cream cheese and a little more milk or maybe some chicken broth to lighten the \"sauce\", more veg...perhaps another can of green chiles and a can of corn, as someone else suggested, and definitely more chicken. Next time I'll bump up the smoked paprika and cumin too. All in all, I think of this dish as more of Mexican Chicken Pot Pie rather than as Chiles Rellenos. As such, it has great possibilities, and with a few tweaks, I will definitely make it again.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":3,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2020-10-03","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"LindaHarvey"},"reviewBody":"I used 1\/2 recipe, but I still used 2 poblano and 4 oz. of the green chilies.

I agree with others, especially that one package of cornbread mix is plenty. We also thought that the "sauce" was really cheese heavy. Next time I'll use half the cream cheese and a little more milk or maybe some chicken broth to lighten the "sauce", more veg...perhaps another can of green chiles and a can of corn, as someone else suggested, and definitely more chicken. Next time I'll bump up the smoked paprika and cumin too. All in all, I think of this dish as more of Mexican Chicken Pot Pie rather than as Chiles Rellenos. As such, it has great possibilities, and with a few tweaks, I will definitely make it again.","CommentId":2,"DateRated":"10\/09\/2020 20:15","GUID":"b2d5c3db2dd245e9a00d472992f8c503","MemberId":9747412,"Rating":3,"ScreenName":"Jana","SubmittedDate":"10\/09\/2020 20:15"},{"Comment":"I used 1\/2 recipe, but I still used 2 poblano and 4 oz. of the green chilies.

I used 3 chicken breast in a Cajun rub that I baked. I did use one cup of milk and I baked in a 13x9 pan using only one box of cornbread. I served with salsa, sourcream, and sliced avocado. For those of you who thought this recipe is bland you can always add spices. Casseroles tend to be very versatile.

I agree with some other reviews that a 9x13 option would be preferable if you desire less of a cornbread layer on top. On the bottom though, I will definitely add corn for a good crunch, and perhaps more chicken to balance out the amount of dairy that\u2019s in this recipe. It was certainly not dry for me but perhaps too creamy.

The entire family loved this recipe! My pepper jack cheese contained both jalapenos and habaneros, so I used mild banana peppers from my garden instead of the poblanos called for in the recipe. Only used 1 box of cornbread mix and it was still wonderful. For a change of pace, skip the cornbread mix and layer the meat mixture with (torn) corn tortillas. This is a keeper!<\/p>","CommentId":16,"DateRated":"07\/04\/2016 17:44","GUID":"3566840b6367405c9777afa28386b5c4","MemberId":6396218,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"texasczech","SubmittedDate":"07\/04\/2016 17:44"},{"Comment":"
