I've frozen a lot of different meals--if I know I'm going to leave Mr. Kipper home alone for a while, I'll try to make sure he has lunch and dinner stored in the freezer for while I'm gone--all he has to do is pull out whatever he'd like that night, defrost, and reheat. For lunch, he just has to pull it out that morning, take it to work, and it thaws by the time he's ready to eat.

I've made enchilada pie, which freezes really well--basically, take large flour tortillas, toss one in the bottom of a pie pan, pile on what you'd like in an enchilada, toss another one on top, and repeat until you fill the pie pan, then cover with foil and bake, then divide into meal-size portions, place into storage containers, and freeze.

You can also take chicken, mix it with salsa, rice, and taco seasoning, top with cheese, cover with foil and bake. I use boneless, skinless chicken breasts for this.

I've found that the pre-cut chicken works well.

If you like chicken pot pie, you can use frozen veggies, rather than fresh, a can of cream of chicken soup, pre-cut chicken chunks, and the pie crusts from the refrigerated section. Place 1 pie crust in the bottom of a greased pie pan, mix the chicken, veggies, and soup together, add seasonings to your taste, and toss in the pie pan. Place the other pie crust on top, cut slits into the pie crust, fold the edges together, and bake until golden brown. This freezes decently too.
