The Verdict.
I think you'll really love how the honey and enchilada sauce marry for a
twangy sauce that is balanced beautifully with the cream.
The filling freezes and reheats nicely.
Shredding chicken breast before serving really helps the texture -- since
chicken breast has super little fat or oil, you want the chicken to have the
opportunity to soak up all the juices in the pot.
Enjoy!!
