Steps:
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in flour; cook for 1 minute. Whisk in chicken broth; cook and stir until sauce is smooth and thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Stir green chiles, olives, salt, oregano, and chipotle chile powder into the sauce. Add chicken breasts and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Remove chicken from the skillet, leaving heat on low. Place chicken on a plate; shred into bite-size pieces.
- Stir sour cream into the sauce. Return chicken to the skillet; add tortilla pieces. Stir until combined and top with Colby-Jack cheese. Cover and cook until bubbly and melted, 5 to 8 minutes.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened and starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, another 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add in the chicken and stir to combine.
- Open both cans of enchilada sauce and pour them into the skillet. Add the chicken broth, then the pasta. Stir to combine. Cover the pan and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring once or twice. Uncover the pan and cook an additional 5 minutes, or until most of the liquid has been absorbed.

Tips:
- Choose the right tortillas: Corn tortillas are the traditional choice for enchiladas, but you can also use flour tortillas if you prefer. If you're using corn tortillas, be sure to soften them in warm water before filling and rolling them.
- Use a flavorful filling: The filling is the heart of the enchilada, so make sure it's packed with flavor. You can use shredded chicken, beef, or vegetables, and be sure to season it well with your favorite spices.
- Don't skimp on the cheese: Cheese is what makes enchiladas so gooey and delicious. Use a good quality cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Monterey Jack.
- Make sure the enchiladas are cooked through: Enchiladas should be cooked until the filling is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly. This usually takes about 20 minutes in the oven.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: Enchiladas are delicious served with a variety of toppings, such as sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and chopped cilantro.
Conclusion:
One-pan chicken enchiladas are a quick and easy weeknight meal that the whole family will love. They're also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal on the table in no time.
