Prep for tomorrow, tonight: We are having chicken enchiladas. This calls for two cups of chopped cooked chicken. If you have time tonight cook the chicken to make tomorrow easier. If not, be sure to at least pull any frozen chicken out of the refrigerator. You can pop it into a crock pot in the morning to cook it if you like.
