Chicken in enchiladas sauce a la Valdemarsro

I have found this recipe on chicken enchiladas by Valdemarsro. It is a very tasty recipe, and it is very easy to make, the only thing is, that is takes quiet some time to prepare. And you also need a pretty good selection on various herbs and spices in more kitchen.

I left out the smoked paprika spice, as I did not have this specific spice in my kitchen collection.

I decided to make two portions of enchiladas sauce, while I made this sauce. The rest of the sauce I have placed in my freezer, so I can make a new portion of enchiladas faster next time.
