Chicken Enchiladas: 30 Days of Freezer Cooking

Although soups, stews, and chili are definitely my favorite easy-to-make and store freezer meals sometimes you just need a meal that is a bit heartier and that can feed a crowd. 

This Easy Chicken Enchiladas Freezer Meal is one of my favorites to create in large batches and store to pull out for a family gathering, potluck, or even a get-together with friends. 

Freezer Friendly Chicken Enchiladas

Using a simple assembly line method and those handy foil baking pans I mentioned in our Basic Freezer Meal Storage Methods post, these are perfect to literally take from freezer to oven for a simple yet delicious meal. 

All you have to do is grab your favorite garnishes like avocado, black olives, sour cream, lettuce, and tomato and you have a meal that will leave your crowd happy and asking how you managed to pull together such a wonderful meal so quickly.

You may freeze in 1-2 large foil baking pans, or several smaller pans for individual meals or single serving sizes dishes.  When you are ready to prepare this Easy Chicken Enchilada Freezer Meal for dinner simply take directly from the freezer, remove plastic wrap and lid, and place in your oven heated at 300 degrees for 20 minutes. 

Turn heat up to 375 and cook for an additional 35-30 minutes or until bubbling.  You may wish to top with extra cheese on top for a crispy creamy texture.

To make it even easier, I like to batch cook and freeze meat in advance!
