Skinny Creamy Chicken Enchiladas

By Thom7747

Beyond just tasting amazing, enchiladas are a great make ahead meal and even pretty inexpensive to make too! I used some chicken I had in the freezer from my last double batch of Super Easy Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos. Next time I make this I’ll make a second batch in an aluminum baking dish so I can freeze it for later. It would take the same amount of time to make two as it does to make one, so why not? I love having dishes like this in my freezer for those nights when I just don’t have the time or energy to make dinner.
