Cook once; eat twice! These incredible chicken enchiladas are a crowd pleaser. The recipe makes two pans, so you can take one to a friend and serve one to your family; or stock the freezer for a rainy day.<\/em><\/p>\n

Another one of my friends had her baby yesterday, a beautiful baby girl names Louisa! I tell ya, It\u2019s baby season around here and I love it. I spent some of Hailey\u2019s nap time in the kitchen yesterday making the new family of four some dinner.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve made these chicken enchiladas several times in the past month because they are easy, a crowd pleaser and the recipe makes 2 (9×13) pans of enchiladas, making it a perfect make-one\/take-one (or freeze one) recipe!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s wonderful being able to make another family dinner while knocking out ours at the same time. I\u2019ve also stocked our freezer with two pans for when baby girl arrives because as of last night, David has named this his new favorite meal. He said it\u2019s what he wants for his birthday from now on, so that\u2019s pretty much the ultimate compliment.<\/p>\n

This dish is very easy, but does take a little time to prep, so allow yourself an hour if it\u2019s your first time making them.<\/p>\n

I prefer the classic chicken, tomato, chili, corn, onion filling, but you could easily doctor these up using black beans, butternut squash or any other ingredient you need to use up.<\/p>\n

If you do decide on chicken and happen to also have a kitchen aid mixer, please use it! It shreds chicken in under 30 seconds and remains to this day one of my favorite kitchen time savers.<\/p>\n

Assembly is a little messy, so prepare to get your hands dirty while you coat each tortilla in enchilada sauce prior to filling and rolling it up.<\/p>\n

If bringing it to a family, I try to bring at least a few of the fixins \u2013 Spanish rice, avocado, sour cream, cilantro, scallions, or whatever else strikes me fancy. However you serve them, though, they are sure to be a hit!<\/p>\n
