In a skillet, saute onions and garlic in butter until tender. Stir in chicken, chili powder, 1/4 cup broth, and 3/4 cup of picante sauce. Heat through; set aside. In a medium saucepan, bring rice and remaining broth to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 20 minutes. Stir in remaining picante sauce; cover and simmer 5 to 10 minutes or until rice is tender. Stir into chicken mixture. Add olives and 2 cups cheese. Spoon 1 cup filling, off center, on each tortilla. Fold sides and ends over filling, then roll up. Arrange burritos in two ungreased 13 x 9-inch baking dishes. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Cover and bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes or until heated through. Garnish with picante sauce and cheddar cheese.
