Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas

from Debbie

6 tablespoons honey

5 tablespoons lime juice (1 large lime)

1 tablespoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 pound chicken, cooked and shredded

8-10 flour tortillas

1 pound monterey jack cheese, shredded

16 0z green enchilada sauce

1 cup heavy cream (whipping cream)

Mix the first four ingredients and toss with shredded chicken. Let it marinate for at least 1/2 hour. Pour about 1/2 cup enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13" baking pan. Fill tortillas with chicken and shredded cheese. Make sure to save some cheese to sprinkle on top. Mix remaining enchilada sauce with the cream. If you have any marinade or chicken left you can also add it to the sauce. Pour sauce on top of enchiladas and sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 min, until brown and crispy on top.

Helpful Hints:

* I cooked the chicken in my crock pot (just put chicken and 1/2 cup of water in) for about about 6 hours the day before, shredded it and mix it with the marinade and let it sit in the fridge overnight.

*Serve with rice or a side of beans (black beans would be really good)

* this dish can be made and frozen! Perfect if you are trying to prepare meals to have on hand. If you freeze: Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake enchiladas COVERED (without thawing first) for 1 hour. Uncover and bake 30 minutes longer, until brown and crispy on top.

Easy as 1,2,3

What you need:

1. Cook the chicken patties as directed on the package

Helpful Hints:

* also good in pitas

*if you don't like spicy you can get the Tyson Original Chicken Breast Patties

*I prefer sprouts over lettuce because they have more nutritional value. Soybean sprouts are the best. (see here)

Creme Brulee French Toast

Sooo delish! Similar to the Carmel French Toast recipe I posted a while ago but I think I like this one better. YUMMY!

(recipe from the food network)

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons corn syrup
• 1 (8 to 9) inch round loaf Challah bread
• 5 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups half and half
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 teaspoon Grand Marnier
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions:In a small heavy saucepan melt butter with butter with brown sugar and corn syrup over moderate heat, stirring, until smooth and pour into a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish. Cut 6 (1-inch) thick slices from center portion of bread, reserving ends for another use, and trim crusts. Arrange bread slices in one layer in baking dish, squeezing them slightly to fit. In a bowl whisk together eggs, half and half, vanilla, Grand Marnier and salt until combined well and pour evenly over bread. Chill bread mixture, covered, at least 8 hours and up to 1 day. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and bring bread mixture to room temperature. Bake uncovered, in middle of oven until puffed and edges are pale golden, 35 to 40 minutes.

Helpful Hints:

*I left out the Grand Marnier

*I substituted Pure Maple Syrup for the corn syrup (supposed to be healthier)

* I couldn't find the Challah bread anywhere so I used good old Texas Toast and I also reduced the number of eggs to 3.

*If you have ever made this please let me know what bread you used and if you used the Grand Marnier. Thanks!
