I followed the recipe pretty close. I added a can of green chillis. I then froze it. It turned out great. It did take a little longer in the oven about 25 mins and I had defrosted it. A quick and easy way to make the shredded chicken is put the breast in a crocpot with onions, 1/4 c broth and seasonings. Cook over night.

My husband and stepson loved these! I did this as a oamc recipe and I think next time I will freeze the ingredients seperatly as the shells were very soggy and almost paste like after being cooked.

cakiegirl I love this recipe! It was great when I made it without freezing first, and it was just as good after being frozen and reheated!! This will definitely be in our regular meal rotation! Thanks, Tish for another winner!

I am going to be honest, I wasn't sure if we would like this recipe. I put it all together with really high hopes, but was worried that it would defrost & be mushy. Also, when I went to put the green sauce on, I tasted it and realized I bought a brand we didn't like- so I made a quick cheese & rotel sauce to go on top. Thawed it in the sink w/ warm water for about an hour. It was awesome! Dh was mad at me because I took all of the lefovers to work for lunch the next day (and that never happens!). We will have this again soon. Thanks again Tish!
