Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas

I used to participate in a monthly freezer swap with other moms.  All of us loved coming home with a freezer full of delicious meals, and tasting some new recipes as well.  This recipe for Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas was one of the few that I continue to make today, and you can always find at least one pan of them in our freezer at any given time.  It is such a fun twist on your normal red sauce enchiladas, with the green chile enchilada sauce complimenting the cream cheese and chicken filling.
