I made this recipe once before and it turned out really well. I did make a note that it could use a bit more flavor next time Not sure exactly what was missing but definitely something to add depth.

Park Place catering in Dearborn, MI is wonderful. I had my wedding at their hall and 7 years later people are still raving about the food, specifically the filet. They provide off-site catering as well.

Chicken Enchiladas with Red Chile Sauce

From the ATK 2010 cookbook and also available on the website.

It's a pretty quick dish and the homemade enchilada sauce is simple yet tastier than any I've had before. I actually use the sauce to make homemade bean burritos (just mix sauce ingredients with refried beans, add some cheese, fresh cilantro and any other toppers you like).

Was this the lemon cookie recipe you were referring to?
