Chicken Enchilada Quinoa Bake

already have chicken, enchilada sauce, and quinoa prepped, so this comes together quite quickly. Even if you are making everything at once, it can all be done pretty easily as well - as the chicken cooks, make the enchilada sauce and cook the quinoa, then it's just assemble and bake. As a matter of fact, this would make a great make-ahead meal, so you could prep and assemble the night before or morning of, then just throw it in the oven when you get home.
