Hey hey, friends! I’m comin’ at ya with another freezer meal recipe today!
So far we’ve made Honey Balsamic Chicken & Veggies, 30-Minute Healthy Sloppy Joes Recipe, and Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti Squash Casserole in our freezer meal series. Today, I’m so excited to share my recipe for these Skinny Creamy Chicken Enchiladas with you guys!
To be honest, I truly had no idea what an amazing thing the freezer meal world could be. That is, until I made a ton of freezer meals right before we had our baby in July! We’re still living off of those freezer meals (it’s September!) and glad that they were so easy to make and reheat.
How to make these Skinny Creamy Chicken Enchiladas:
- Have pre-cooked chicken on hand.
- Mix the filling (enchilada sauce, green chiles, diced tomatoes, greek yogurt, bell peppers, beans, and seasoning).
- Pour the filling into low-carb tortillas and roll.
- Place each tortilla in a casserole dish, top with yogurt, cheese, and bake!
How to meal prep and make these Skinny Creamy Chicken Enchiladas a freezer meal recipe:
To meal prep, simply make a big batch of these Skinny Creamy Chicken Enchiladas and place in containers in the refrigerator. To freeze, remove the containers from the refrigerator after about 1 hour and place in the freezer! The meal should last about 1 month in the freezer and about 6 months in the deep freezer.
I’m loving these Rubbermaid BRILLIANCE Food Storage Containers for storing this recipe in the freezer! Not only are they freezer safe (of course), but also microwave safe, dishwasher safe, 100% leakproof, airtight, and stack on top of each other perfectly. I used the large size for this recipe, but you can check out the entire collection HERE!

Really any kind is great! I use a mix of different cheeses. Cheddar is always a great option, though!

Can you put this straight into the freezer after prepping it? Or, do you have to bake it first and then freeze it?? Thank you
Christine McMichael replied:
I would recommend baking it first, then freezing! 🙂 Enjoy!

How long do you bake from frozen?

You can bake this in the oven for about 30-45 minutes or heat it up in the microwave for about 7-10 minutes!
