While shopping the other day at ShopRite I picked up a few items to make a quick and easy dinner that I knew my family would love! We’re going to be out of the house a lot with the holidays and being able to come home and have a filling warm meal is always better than hitting the drive-thru.

I picked up some Wholesome Pantry Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast, Mexican Cheese Blend, and Mozzarella Cheese. I also picked up Frontera Green Chili Enchilada Sauce and Chunky Mexicana Salsa. On the weekends we meal prep things like veggies, fruit, and chicken. I’ll make a huge batch of baked or grilled chicken, and also a few boiled chicken breasts to make shredded chicken. It’s so much easier to shred when you boil it. It’s important to me that we have family time instead and outside of the home. Dinner time is a time for all of us to come together as a family and be together. We love watching a movie afterward too!

how do you make easy chicken enchiladas?

First, you’ll start off by mixing shredded chicken breast with sour cream and cheese.

Then you’ll take the chicken mixture and place it into a corn tortilla.

Roll up the corn tortilla and place it in a baking dish that has a layer of green chili enchilada sauce.

Then cover the chicken enchiladas with more green chili sauce and top with shredded cheese.

Bake until the cheese is melted, about 15-20 minutes.

Why choose Frontera:
