Chicken and Spinach Enchiladas (10 of 10)
These Chicken and Spinach Enchiladas are an easy Mexican inspired meal perfect for weeknights. The filling comes together quickly and includes shredded chicken, spinach, goat cheese, and Monterey Jack cheese. They had the perfect amount of flavor and spice for me and Evan. If you want a bit more kick, you can always substitute Pepper Jack for the Monterey Jack cheese.

This recipe is enough for two 9×13 inch baking dishes. I cooked one the day I prepared the enchiladas and refrigerated the other for the next day. If you are baking this from the refrigerator, add about 10-15 minutes to the cooking time. Don’t refrigerate for longer than a day or two. They can also be frozen without the toppings. Just add the salsa verde and Monterey Jack right before baking.

4 cups salsa verde, divided
