Before I share my Creamy Chicken Enchiladas Verde recipe, can we just collectively say ...Yay - spring is almost here!!! I am so ready for spring, and as I am sure you already knew that spring starts this month, did you know that March is also Frozen Food Month? I found out that many stores are offering great savings on participating frozen food and today I am partnering with Smart & Final to share an easy meal idea made from some of my favorite frozen foods.

Their friendly neighborhood store offers so many great fresh and frozen name brand products, and I love that their private label First Street products are not only great tasting, but great for for saving money too. Double win!

These creamy chicken enchiladas are made with green chilis, spices all in a sour cream sauce.I  stopped by Smart & Final the other day after work. I love that I can get great prices without having to shop in a huge warehouse store after a long day. I picked up some First Street frozen items including chicken breasts, sweet corn and the lovely Tri-color pepper strips.

I start out by baking the frozen chicken breasts while mixing together the chile verde sauce. I stuff the enchiladas and pour the sauce over and topping with cheese before popping it into the oven.

When the enchiladas come out, dinner is ready!

The result is a flavorful corn and pepper side dish that makes a wonderful complement to the enchiladas. The dishes look so festive too!

    I'm sincere in saying that THIS LOOKS AMAZING! I love chicken enchiladas, or any enchiladas, but I've never had them like this.
    I didn't know it was frozen food month! Gotta get the freezer stocked!

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
