Steps to make Creamy Chicken Enchillada Casserole:
Remove skin. Use fork to remove meat from breast of chickens. Place meat in large bowl. Making sure there are no bones, stir the meat with fork until all meat is shredded. Refrigerate over night.
Add following ingredients to bowl of shredded chicken:
Add one large hand full of each kind of cheese to mixture.
Stir well. Mixture should be thick and creamy.
Cut tortillas into 1 or 2 in squares. Place single layer of tortilla squares on bottom of large glass casserole dish, making sure each piece over laps each other.
Scoop mixture onto tortilla squares. Smooth out as much as possible. Place another layer of 1 or 2 in cut tortillas on top making sure to over lap each peice. Press firmly. Repeat layering of mixture and tortillas until desired thickness making sure to press firmly. Leaving enough room on top about 1 in deep.
Prepare instant rice according to instructions on box. (I found that the serving size for two people was enough to cover one layer of the casserole)
Add rice to casserole dish. (There should be a layer of tortillas between the rice and the mixture)
Add remaining mozzarella cheese to top of casserole. Smooth out.
With the remaining sharp cheddar cheese create a border around the top of the dish. About 2 in wide.
Chop green onions.
Add olives and green onions to top of mozzarella cheese.
Place casserole dish on cookie sheet and bake for 45 min at 350°F. CAUTION: REMOVE CAREFULLY. CASSEROLE WILL BE HEAVY.
You may have left over casserole mixture. This will make great cassadillas for the next day. Place mixture between two flour tortillas. Then add cheese on top. Microwave until cheese is melted and bubbling. Garnish with slices of avacado.
