tasty thursdays - creamy chicken enchiladas

now that we've covered some of our family's favourite recipes in one fell swoop, i'd like to focus on one stellar recipe from the menu plan each week. i suspect most of the featured recipes will be tried-and-true dishes that deserve their spots in the regular dinner rotation, but if i come across any fantastic new recipes i'll be sure to share! 

last night's supper was one of our faves. it requires very little active prep work, and the flavors are unbeatable. it's definitely going on my list of freezer meals to make before our little one arrives!
