Heat grill to med-high

Coat the chicken with a healthy drizzle of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill chicken on each side. When done, shred chicken & add in 1 can green enchilada sauce, chilis, 1 can olives (drained) and 1/2 the cheese mix. Cook over low heat until cheese is melted and it begins to thicken.
