Honey Lime Enchiladas

6 tb. honey
5 tb. lime juice (1 large lime)
1/2 tb. chili powder
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 pd. chicken (3 small breasts)
8-10 flour tortillas
1 pd. monetary jack cheese (shredded)
16 oz. green enchilada sauce
1 cup heavy whipping cream (you can even get fat-free half and half....go figure)

note: If you want the enchiladas to be sweeter, I would add more honey and just a little more lime juice.

Mix first four ingredients and toss with shredded chicken. Marinate for at least 1/2 hour. Pour 1/2 cup enchilada sauce on bottom of 9x13 baking pan. Fill flour tortillas with chicken and shredded cheese. Mix remaining enchilada sauce with cream and left over marinade. Pour mixture on top of enchiladas and sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 350 for 30 min until brown and crispy on top. Enjoy!
