Servings 8
Ingredients
- 2 10oz cans cooked chicken breast, shredded (or 3 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded)
- 2 cups Mexican Blend shredded cheese
- 10 oz can green enchilada sauce
- 8 flour tortillas
- 1 cup half & half
- ⅓ cup honey
- 3 tabelspoon lime juice
- 1 tabelspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon salt
- sliced green onions opt
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together the chicken, honey, lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, and salt. Let the chicken sit for a while to soak up most of the marinade.
- Mix the green enchilada sauce with the half & half until well combined. Lightly grease a 13x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray, then pour a thin layer of the sauce mixture to coat the bottom.
- Evenly distribute the chicken among the eight tortillas and top with a sprinkle of cheese, reserving at least 1 cup of cheese for the final layer on top of the enchiladas.
- Roll each tortilla tightly and arrange them in the prepared baking dish. Pour the remaining sauce over the enchiladas, then top with the reserved cheese.
- Cover with foil and bake at 350°F for 45 minutes, removing the foil during the last 15 minutes to allow the cheese to melt. The sauce should be bubbling around the edges and hot in the center.
- Garnish with sliced green onions and limes, if desired.
