* Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas *

I have seen this recipe floating around blog-land for a while now but it wasn't til my cousin Melissa tried it that I decided to give it a try...and it was delicious! You can find different variations of the recipe here, here, oh and here---basically type it into Google and you'll find a bunch of them. Give it a try. You won't be sorry. The zippy sweetness of the chicken is different but so good!

*Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas *




1/3 c. honey
1/4 c. lime juice
1 T. chili powder
2 cloves garlic
1 lb. chicken, cooked and shredded
1 c. cream--or--half and half--or--sour cream
2 (10 oz) cans green enchilada sauce
1 1/2 c. cheese (any that you have on hand...I used monterey jack)
8 flour tortillas

Mix together honey, lime juice, chili powder, and garlic. Add sauce to shredded chicken and let it marinate for about 30 minutes.

Lightly spray 9x13 pan with non-stick baking spray. Pour green enchilada sauce into pans to coat the entire bottom. Fill tortillas with shredded meat and desired amount of cheese. Roll and place in dish.

Mix cream and enchilada sauce together and pour sauce over enchiladas and sprinkle more cheese on top. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
