Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas (adapted from the-girl-who-ate-everything.com)
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast
3 T. honey
1/4 c. freshly squeezed lime juice
2 t. chili powder
1/2 t. garlic powder
1 t. salt
1 (10 oz.) can green enchilada sauce
10 tortillas (I used La Tortilla Factory - 50 calories!)
1/4 c. fat free half and half
1 c. shredded cheese (co/jack, cheddar, whatever!)
Place the chicken in a 4 qt. crock pot that has been sprayed with cooking spray. In a small bowl whisk together the honey, lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder and salt. Pour the sauce over the chicken and cover. Cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-4 hours. Shred the chicken.
Preheat the oven to 350. Spray a 9X13 baking dish with cooking spray and pour half of the enchilada sauce on the bottom of the pan and spread evenly to coat. Fill flour tortillas with the chicken and place in the pan. Mix the remaining enchilada sauce with the half and half and pour over the enchiladas. Top with the shredded cheese. Bake for 30 minutes or until brown and crispy on top.
