Steps

1

Cook the chicken breasts and corn. Shred the chicken and remove the corn kernels; set aside.
2

Roast the poblano peppers over the stove burner. Place them in a plastic bag to steam for 10 minutes. Remove the skin under running water. Remove the seeds and veins, then slice into strips.
3

Fry the corn tortillas in oil on both sides until softened but not crispy. Drain on a paper towel.
4

Slice the onion and sauté in a skillet with a little olive oil along with the poblano strips until the liquid evaporates, about 5 minutes.
5

Blend the tomatoes with the garlic and a little water. Add this mixture to the skillet with the poblano strips. Add the shredded chicken and cook for 10 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
6

Place a layer of tortillas in a baking dish. Add a layer of the chicken mixture. Top with a layer of sour cream, corn, and cheese. Repeat layers until the dish is filled.
7

Cover with aluminum foil. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for about 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Uncover and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes until the cheese is golden. Cut into pieces to serve, like a casserole. Serve with beans, green salad, and your favorite salsa.
