I got this picture as well as the original recipe from this blog via pinterest.
This recipe recently won an LDS living recipe contest.
I made a few changes to cut out 130 calories and 6 g of fat per serving,
which is reflected in the recipe below.

While I never made the original, I'm not sure how it could taste much better.
The whole family love this and it's super easy!
Verde Chicken Mexican Lasagna
1 can 12.5 oz can Kirkland chicken breast - drained and broken up
2 cups fat free plain greek yogurt
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15 ounce) can corn drained (can used frozen corn that has been thawed also)
1 teaspoon Johnny's garlic seasoning (or garlic powder)
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup chopped cilantro (plus additional for garnishing)
15 or a few more white corn tortillas sprayed with oil/pam and warmed in a pan till soft
1 (8-ounce) package shredded Mexican blend cheese (separated for different uses)
Begin cooking tortillas (It goes really fast in a large electric fry pan)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix chicken, sour cream, black beans, salsa, corn, cilantro, the spices and all but a handful of cheese in a large bowl. Taste and adjust seasonings to your preference.
Cut some of the tortillas in half with kitchen shears.
Spray a 9×13 dish or any 2 quart casserole dish with non stick spray and layer the bottom with corn tortillas filling the gaps with the cut ones. Add 1/3 of the chicken mixture on the tortillas and spread evenly. Place a layer of tortillas over the mixture and add another 1/3 of the mixture to cover. Repeat the process and top the last mixture layer with tortillas. Spread cheese evenly over the tortillas.
Bake in oven for 20 – 25 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and casserole is warmed through. Serve with chopped lettuce, salsa, additional greek yogurt and cilantro as desired.
