Freezer Meal Prep: Chicken Enchiladas

Feb 14, 2024

Prepping my freezer for baby - week 6.

My fiancé and I are getting ready to welcome our first baby in less than a month! Now that we're in the final countdown, I'm focused on filling our freezer with easy, nourishing meals that just need to be warmed up postpartum.


This week, I made Chicken Enchiladas. Find the recipe below! This is a great one to double - have it for dinner now and freeze the other half for later.

Chicken Enchiladas

You Need:


Ingredients:

  • 1/2 diced onion
  • 2 (14.5-ounce) cans tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1.5-2 lbs boneless chicken breasts


Instructions:

  1. Label your bag now - what it is, when to eat it by (freeze for up to 3 months), and instructions when ready to cook (see below).
  2. Add diced onion, tomato sauce, and spices to a slow cooker.
  3. Add chicken breast, and stir into the sauce.
  4. Slow cook on high for 3.5-4 hours, or low for 6-7 hours.
  5. Once chicken is cooked, shred and let cool completely.
  6. Bag and freeze flat.


When ready to cook:

  1. Defrost, and reheat on the stove or in the microwave.
  2. Serve: on tortillas, with hot sauce and lime juice, covered in cheese... whatever your heart desires!
