Low carb green chile chicken enchilada casserole

1lb boneless skinless chicken breast
1 large can green enchilada sauce
1 can sliced olives
1 can diced green chiles
2 cups shredded cheese
6 low carb flour tortillas
Some hot sauce
Chicken stock

Put chicken and stock in the Ninja and slowcook low for 5 hours
In a bowl shred the chicken and add olives, chilies, and hot sauce
In the Ninja, put a little sauce and two of the tortillas, add some meat mixture and cheese
Do two more layers
Add the rest of the green sauce to the Ninja
I cooked this on slowcook high for an hour

Next time I would try baking on a low temp.  The tortillas cooked but were a bit soft (soggy).  It was still delicious though!!!

I also added sour cream on top!
