Directions

  1. 1

    Place chicken into a large pot and add water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

    Step 1
  2. 2

    Remove from the pot and let sit until cool enough to handle; shred chicken with two forks.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, combine sour cream, condensed soup, and chili powder in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, then turn off the heat and cover to keep warm.

  4. 4

    At the same time, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add shredded chicken, water, 1/2 of the green onions, green chiles, and taco seasoning; simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in lime juice, onion powder, and garlic powder; simmer for 10 more minutes.

    Step 4
  5. 5

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  6. 6

    Stir 1 cup soup mixture into the skillet with the chicken. Spread remaining soup mixture over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  7. 7

    Fill each tortilla with 1/5 of the chicken mixture and about 5 tablespoons Cheddar cheese.

    Step 7
  8. 8

    Roll tortillas around filling and place enchiladas, seam-side down, into the baking dish. Pour enchilada sauce over top and sprinkle with remaining Cheddar, remaining green onions, and olives.

    Step 8
  9. 9

    Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling around the edges, about 25 minutes.
