Honey-lime Chicken Enchiladas

Honey-Lime Chicken Enchiladas

6 Tb honey
4.5 Tb lime juice
1 Tb chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder

1 lb cooked chicken, shredded
flour tortillas
colby or monterey jack cheese, shredded
10 oz. can green enchilada sauce

Mix first 4 ingredients together and toss with shredded chicken. Let it "marinate" for at least a half hour. Pour some green enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 10x10 casserole dish or 9x13 pan. Fill flour tortillas with chicken and shredded cheese. Pour the rest of the can of green enchilada sauce over enchiladas then sprinkle with more cheese. (When using a 9x13 I like to use 1 1/2 10 oz. cans) Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. (Put it under the broiler at the end to make the cheese brown and crispy on the top.)

I got an "amazing" from rob on this one. I'm really happy with some of the recipes I'm finding lately. They are definitely keepers. This is from sisterskitchen.

Chicken Fried Rice

Got this recipe from a very talented cook in my old ward. It was so dang good we practically ate it on it's own. I actually didn't add the chicken cuz I already had a chicken dish with it. I'm excited to make it again with the chicken. Measure everything before hand because the cooking goes fast. She also said LaChoy and Kikoma? are good soy sauces. And this is for 2 servings--you'll want a lot of this so double it, or just wing it.

Ingredients

2 oz chicken diced small
8 oz steamed rice cooked
1 egg
1 tsp vegetable oil
2 T finely diced onions
2 T finely diced carrots
2 tsp (or more) soy sauce
1 tsp minced garlic
6 pinches pepper
6 pinches salt
2 T butter


Directions

Scramble egg and chop into fine pieces. Set aside. Heat a pan and add 1/2 tsp oil, cook the chicken. Set aside. Add a 1/2 tsp oil cook the onion and carrots for 3 or 4 minutes. Put the rice on one side and allow it to heat up. Add the garlic and green onions and cook for 1 minute. Mix all the ingredients together, but the butter. Mix together. Put a hole in the middle and add the butter, mix together.
