Cooking Instructions
1.
Preheat oven 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
2.
Pound Skinless Chicken Breast (2) so that they are flattened. Season with Salt (to taste) and Ground Black Pepper (to taste). In a pan with a bit of Olive Oil (as needed) brown them for 3 minutes per side, for a total of 6 minutes.
3.
When the chicken breasts are a nice golden brown, move them over to a cutting board and cut them into cubes.
4.
Heat around 1 tsp of Olive Oil (as needed) in a large saute pan over medium-high heat.
5.
Add the Yellow Onion (1/2) and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until translucent.
6.
Add the cubed chicken, Canned Mild Diced Green Chiles (4 ounce) and Black Olives (1/4 cup) to the pan. Stir gently to mix.
7.
Pour in Enchilada Sauce (3/8 cup) and toss to coat.
8.
Add in Sour Cream (1/2 cup) and chopped Italian Flat-Leaf Parsley (1/3 cup).
9.
Add in Shredded Mexican Cheese Blend (3/4 cup) and fold in until the cheese is melted and combined.
10.
Lightly coat the inside of a medium-size rectangular baking dish with Olive Oil (as needed). Working with one Flour Tortilla (8) at a time, spoon some chicken mixture onto each and roll up.
11.
Line the filled tortillas in the dish.
12.
Drizzle with the remaining Enchilada Sauce (3/8 cup).
13.
Top with the remaining Shredded Mexican Cheese Blend (1 cup) Cover with foil and bake on the center oven rack for 25 minutes.
14.
Remove foil and continue baking for 10 minutes more until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is melted.
15.
Serve with a green salad and enjoy!
