This cozy, cheesy casserole from Twin Cities food blogger greens & chocolate comes together in minutes. Perfect for busy weeknights!

Winter may be slowly coming to an end, but I’m not ready for the casserole season to be over. There’s just something about a zero-degree day that calls for a warm, cheesy casserole. It’s just not what I crave on a 50-degree spring day. So, I’m going to embrace the winter for another month (or two? Three?) and make all the casseroles I can, starting with this Salsa Verde Mexican Chicken Lasagna!

This recipe is proof, once again, that sometimes the simpler, the better! It’s basic corn tortillas layered with a mixture of shredded chicken, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, salsa verde and cheese, baked to golden perfection. I had considered making a homemade cream sauce in addition to the creamy salsa verde chicken mixture, but I really wanted to see if it would still be good without that extra step. Because on a busy weeknight, who needs that extra step? No one! As it turns out, this Salsa Verde Mexican Chicken Lasagna didn’t need that cream sauce at all!

I also made this recipe in a smaller baking dish than the typical 9×13 pan, making it more a more realistic portion for a 2-4 person family. I feel like whenever I make a 9×13 pan of something, there are always way too many leftovers. If you happen to need to feed a larger group, this recipe can easily be doubled and made in a 9×13 baking dish! If you want to stretch this recipe out a little and serve it to six people, just make a big salad to go along with it.
