What's for Dinner? BBQ Chicken Pizza

I posted this BBQ Chicken recipe back in October, but wanted to share it again because I tried something new that was delicious!  Instead of serving this delicious pulled chicken on boring old hamurger buns, I used it to make BBQ Chicken Pizza that, in my opinion, was better than what I used to get at California Pizza Kitchen.  I used Sweet Baby Ray's Hickory and Brown Sugar this time and it was the perfect amount of sweetness for this recipe.  And, the best part is it only took me about 20 mins to prepare once I got home from work!  I hope you enjoy.

Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas (Adapted from The Girl Who Ate Everything)

Ingredients 1/3 cup honey 1/4 cup lime juice 1/2 teaspoon chili powder 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1 lb. chicken (cooked and shredded) 8 soft taco tortillas 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded 2 cups enchilada sauce 1/2 cup heavy cream Instructions 1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 2.  Mix the honey, lime juice, chili powder and garlic powder in a Ziploc bag. 3. Add the shredded chicken. 4.  Marinate for at least 1/2 hour.
