Directions

Prep 30 minCook 30 min
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.

  2. 2

    Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. Heat olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 4 minutes per side, or until fully cooked to 165°F.

  3. 3

    Cube or shred the cooked chicken and combine in a bowl with chopped onion, 1/4 of the shredded cheese, and 3/4 of the sour cream.

  4. 4

    Divide the mixture evenly among the tortillas, roll each into an enchilada, and arrange in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.

  5. 5

    In a saucepan over low heat, melt together the remaining cheese and sour cream. Pour this mixture over the enchiladas.

  6. 6

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the enchiladas are hot and bubbly.

  7. 7

    Top with diced tomatoes and sliced olives before serving.
