Chicken Enchiladas

Submitted by: JustRightMenus

Description:

So when my now-husband, Dinah, and I were dating, I made these for him, so he could have a readily available meal/snack. We could also have them for unplanned lunches or when I wasn't feeling up to cooking much. They freeze wonderfully - you don't even have to defrost ahead of time - the microwave does fine.

Sounds like a good idea, right? 

It was ... until I more than doubled the recipe, and we were eating them for months.

They're really good, though - just don't go nuts and make 30 of them for 2 people. Take my word for it.
