Reviews
“We really enjoyed this recipe.I did modify it however, by not using the chicken.I don’t like chicken in my chili rellenos.”
“Something was missing to me, but then again it could be the cook’s fault (thus no rating)!We prefer cheese chili rellenos, so the chicken addition didn’t appeal but worth the try. And, the whole canned chilis didn’t appeal.Maybe diced in the chicken mixture or I like the other suggestion of fresh roasted green chilis.Will try again.”
“This is easy.I used frozen, roasted green chilies instead of the canned.The cheese was a reduced fat, white cheddar and egg substitute instead of the 2 eggs.While it was very good, I do plan to use more chilies next go round.”
