What is your least favorite part of cooking? If you are anything like me, it is the clean-up!! I will cook all day long and love every second of it…then I will see the pile of dishes and my enthusiasm plummets 🙁  And when it is a crazy weeknight to begin with, I need any shortcuts that I can find to get dinner on the table and not spend my entire night in the kitchen cleaning up 🙂

Veggie Packed Easy Chicken Enchiladas with Glad™ Aluminum Foil

My Veggie Packed Easy Chicken Enchiladas fit the bill when you need to put a healthy and easy dinner on the table in 30 minutes or less! If you take an extra minute during the prep stage and line your baking pan with Glad™ Aluminum Foil, then clean up is a breeze as well! When the easy chicken enchiladas are all gobbled up (like they were in my house), just toss out the aluminum foil and there are no extra dishes to clean up!

Veggie Packed Easy Chicken Enchiladas with Glad™ Standard Aluminum Foil

Glad®’s all new Aluminum Foil is the key to making these easy chicken enchiladas even easier! It is 30% stronger than other leading foils, but still a pantry-friendly 12″ wide, making it perfect for uses from the freezer to the oven. Veggie Packed Easy Chicken Enchiladas with Glad™ Aluminum Foil

I was also impressed with the new packaging features of Glad™ Aluminum Foil! I’m loving the new Stay-Closed Lid where the lid actually clicks shut and keeps the lid closed and keeps the foil from coming unraveled. No more mess of aluminum foil in my pantry 🙂 Veggie Packed Easy Chicken Enchiladas with Glad® Aluminum Foil

Another ingenious packaging feature is how they have designed it to pull up to cut the aluminum foil (instead of pulling down), so you get a clean cut each and every time that leaves a ReadyEdge™ that is easy to grab the next time! And to make it even more fool-proof there is a thumb dot printed right on the box that tells you were to press and slide to easily open it 🙂 It doesn’t get much easier than that!!

  • 2 tsp. chili powder
  • 1 tsp. chipotle chili powder
