Fill each tortilla with ¼ cup chicken mixture and place in greased pan:
6 enchiladas per square pan-top with 1 cup sauce and ½ cup cheese
12 enchiladas per 9x13 pan-top with 2 cups sauce and 1 cup cheese
To Freeze: Wrap well with foil, label and date. Freeze for up to 2 months.
To Bake: To eat same day, bake uncovered at 350 for about 25 minutes or until bubbly. From frozen, either thaw completely and bake as above, OR from frozen, bake covered 1 hour, then uncover and bake 25 more minutes or until hot and bubbly. Can re-cover if top is getting too browned before it is hot.
Note: Great for using leftover chicken or use this equivalency,
1 ½ lbs uncooked bone-in chicken breasts = 2 cups cooked chicken
1 ½ lbs uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breasts = 3 cups cooked chicken
