I was talking to my husband the other night and asked him what his favorite meal was. Without any hesitation, he told me how much he loved our Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas. I would have to agree! They are pretty dang tasty! However, my kids are pretty weird about texture, so I decided to make a kid friendly version with all the same flavor of my family’s favorite meal!

I only used 3 large chicken breasts. The marinade measurements were not even close to being enough for the amount of chicken. I had to triple the measurements.

Ok. We love your honey lime chicken enchiladas. Definitely one of our favorite meals. My 5 year old does struggle w/ the texture though. So, this is a brilliant idea. And a way to switch it up too! I love it!
