1/4 C chopped fresh cilantro
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped
1 (15.25oz) can corn, drained

In a Dutch oven, combine chicken and next 12 ingredients. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes.

In a medium bowl, combine sour cream and cream cheese.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 13x9x2-inch baking dish.

Spoon 1/3 of sauce into prepared dish. Top with 3 uncooked lasagna noodles. Spread 1/2 of sour cream mixture over noodles, top with 1/3 sauce. Sprinkle with half of cheeses. Repeat layers. Bake 35-45 minutes, or until hot and bubbly. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.
