Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- In a large casserole dish or lasagna pan, evenly spread 1 cup of the enchilada sauce across the bottom.
- Mix chopped cooked chicken with condensed chicken soup in a mixing bowl and set aside.
- Heat oil in a skillet until hot.
- Dip corn tortillas one at a time very briefly for about 1 second on each side, or until they soften.
- You may also just heat the tortillas to soften them (microwaving for a few seconds is one way), without using the oil, but they do tend to split.
- Place the softened tortilla on a plate and place several tbsp of the chicken filling across the center of the tortilla.
- Fold sides of tortilla over to enclose the filling, and place enchilada seam side down in the casserole dish.
- Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
- Pour remaining 2 cups red enchilada sauce over the enchiladas, trying to make sure that all the corn tortilla parts get covered.
- Sprinkle cheese evenly over the top.
- Garnish with the chopped onion and sliced olives, if desired.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes in the preheated oven or until heated through and cheese is melted.
- To serve, garnish with sour cream, if desired.

CHICKEN AND OLIVES
The sharp, briny bite of olives is the dominant flavors here, which is why it pairs so well with chicken breast. This is one of those dishes where, if you tasted the chicken and sauce separately, you probably wouldn't be very impressed, but together they're magic.

Steps:
- Season skin-side of chicken with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Turn breasts over and season skinless side with salt, black pepper, cayenne, and herbes de Provence. Turn again so that the skin-side is facing up; rest for 10 minutes.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Place chicken skin-side down in hot oil. Reduce heat to medium-high and cook chicken until skin is well-browned, about 5 minutes. Turn chicken and cook until just browned, about 2 minutes; transfer to a plate.
- Reduce heat to medium. Cook and stir shallots in the hot skillet until just softening and golden brown, about 2 minutes. Stir olives into shallots and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Pour the chicken broth into the skillet; bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of the reserved olive brine, lemon zest, and cumin; increase heat to high and cook until sauce is reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and return chicken, skin-side up, to the skillet. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken to a plate and cover with aluminum foil.
- Stir parsley and butter into sauce, stirring continuously until butter is melted and sauce is shiny. Spoon sauce over chicken.
