To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

For the sour cream sauce:

- 2 tablespoons butter

To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, diced green chiles, and chopped cilantro. Set aside.

To assemble the casserole, spread a thin layer of the sour cream sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange 4 corn tortillas over the sauce, overlapping slightly. Top with half of the chicken mixture, then sprinkle with 1 cup of shredded cheese. Repeat the layers, ending with a layer of tortillas and cheese on top.
Bake the casserole for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving.
