Instructions
1
Whisk honey, lime juice, chili powder, and minced garlic together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add shredded cooked chicken; toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap; marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Remove shredded chicken from marinade and shake off excess; set aside remaining marinade.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and spread 1/2 cup enchilada sauce over bottom.
3
Combine chicken and 5 cups Monterey Jack cheese in a bowl; spoon about 3/4 cup chicken-cheese mixture down center of each tortilla. Roll tortillas to enclose filling; place seam-sides down in the prepared baking dish.

Whisk remaining 1 1/2 cups enchilada sauce, fat-free half-and-half, and remaining marinade together in a bowl; pour over enchiladas and sprinkle with remaining 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven until cheese melted and top is brown, about 30 minutes.
