Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas

Description:
Okay so this might be my new favorite meal.   So tasty!   You gotta try it!   Mom asked for the recipe but I thought I'd share it to all of you.

Ingredients:
4 boneless-skinless chicken breasts  (1 chicken breast equals 1 c. chicken)
2 c shredded Mexican Cheese blend
10 flour tortillas (medium size)
2 limes
4 Tbsp honey
2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 Tbsp chopped cilantro (2 tsp. dried)  [1/3 dried herbs to fresh]
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 can cream of chicken soup
2 cans green enchilada sauce
Optional: 1 small can diced green chili’s

Directions:
Cook and finely dice (or shred) the chicken breasts and place in a large mixing bowl. I usually boil them, it's easy, but grilled works nicely too. To the bowl, add 1.5 cups of the cheese, the diced green chills and the chicken soup and mix well. To make the sauce, zest and juice both limes in a separate bowl. Add in the honey, chili powder, garlic powder, chopped cilantro and olive oil. Mix well. Add sauce to the chicken mixture and stir well. Now fill each of the tortillas with a portion of the mixture and place in a 9x13 glass baking dish. Top the rolled tortillas with the two cans of green enchilada sauce and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30-40 minutes or until the cheese has melted and browned.
