Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Whisk together the honey, chili powder, lime juice, and minced garlic in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add the shredded cooked chicken and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least a half hour. Remove the shredded chicken from the marinade, and shake off excess. Save the used marinade.
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish, and spread 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce over the bottom.
- Combine marinated shredded chicken with 5 cups of shredded Monterey Jack cheese in a bowl. Mix lightly. Spoon about 3/4 cup of the chicken-cheese mixture down the center of each tortilla. Roll tortillas and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
- In a bowl, whisk together remaining enchilada sauce, fat-free half-and-half, and remaining marinade. Pour sauce over enchiladas and sprinkle top with 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
- Bake in preheated oven until the cheese has melted and the top is brown, about 30 minutes.

I made this using shredded pork instead of chicken(cooked a pork loin in the crockpot for about 5 hours, then shredded). I doubled the marinade recipe and left out the half and half. Served it t...

Very good. You can double the marinade and add two cups of cooked rice to make this go much farther. Kids loved it.

Interesting and different to try, but hubby and I both agreed this wasn't a keeper. Tasty but not something I'd make again. A bit too sweet, probably would be better to reduce honey to 1/4 cup...

Given that my husband and I don't typically like enchiladas, this recipe gets 5 stars for producing something we both genuinely enjoyed! However, I don't get the point of cooking chicken separat...
