I'm not sure what to call this dish. It's not really traditional Mexican food, although it tastes like it. It's not really American food. So I guess if in doubt, call something like this a Tex-Mex Chicken Enchilada Casserole.

Not really rolled up enchiladas done properly, but good in a pinch I think. One thing I will say, is don't add the cheese in during cooking and if possible, don't skip the final browning step. That melty, goeey, bubbling cheese is really what makes this casserole most inviting.
Variation to this Casserole could include homemade enchilda sauce, or substituting ground beef for the chicken. In that case, reduce cook times to 5 minutes.

Has anyone tried this with frozen chicken? I thought I took chicken out to defrost and unfortunately I didn't.

It would work unless your chicken is frozen in a solid hunk. Even then all you’d have to do is cook a little longer
