Our freezer died on us last week. It caught me by complete surprise as it’s only four years old and I thought we were good friends. I was always filling it with tasty goodness. I had never had a separate freezer before and now I’m afraid I can barely live without. Thankfully, we saved all of the meat, but we lost all of my fruits from the summer, frozen doughs, etc. Everything was moved to regular freezer and it all fit, barely. Naturally, I had just frozen a ton of chicken so for the next couple of weeks we’re having lots and lots of chicken!
One of my favorite things to do when I purchase chicken is to a cook up a bunch and shred it and store it in 2 or 3 cup servings. Then, on busy nights I already have my prep work done. It makes an easy recipe like these enchiladas even easier! Don’t be fooled by other recipes that claim they can be ready in 20 minutes either, these truly can be made in that time, including the prep work. Love it! We’ve already had these twice since the freezer died and they never fail to disappoint. I will typically make these and freeze half, but we know that is out of the question so instead we just have leftovers! So, four nights in 8 days of enchiladas should show you that these are very tasty!
