Easy, Healthy Chicken Enchilada Bake
Anyone out there love left over cooked chicken breast???
My family does NOT!!!
In fact, after I roast a whole chicken I usually have to freeze the breast and make something new with it so they will eat it.
This recipe is PERFECT for left over chicken of any kind. It doesn't have to be just chicken breasts, use whatever you have.
This meal is also freezable!! So you can make it ahead for company you may be having, thaw it out overnight and serve it to your guests!!! It will knock their socks off! Add a fantastic Fennel Salad and oh my, BEST meal EVER!
You only need 6 ingredients to assemble this delicious, inexpensive dish!
Enjoy!!!
