Chicken Quinoa Enchilada Bake

This is an awesome week night recipe and leaves plenty of leftovers for lunch the next day. And my favorite part is I only used one pan for this dish! I have mentioned before how much I loooove my Lodge cast iron skillet, but it truly is one of my favorite pans. It’s inexpensive, durable, and goes from stove top to oven.
