Mexican Lasagna (Chicken)

Hello out there! I just HAD to send this new recipe your way after trying it out last night. I got it from the Scrumptious Sister blog a while ago but haven't gotten around to making it. However, last night I made it for my family and it's totally worth passing on! One of us sisters has already posted a different Mexican Lasagna recipe but that one contains ground beef, but for chicken lovers like me this one's a winner!

(I even borrowed their picture from here)

Here's what you need:
Cooking Oil Spray
6 Corn Tortillas, cut into quarters {I used 4 flour and cut them into strips}
1 Large Egg
1/4 Cup Milk
1/4 Cup Sour Cream
1 Cup Mild Chunky Salsa
1 lb Chicken Breast, cooked and shredded
4 oz Cream Cheese, half inch cubed
2 Tbsp Fresh Cilantro, chopped
3 Scallions chopped {I didn't use any}
1 Tsp Salt
2 Cups Mexican Cheese Blend (or a blend of Monterey Jack and Mild Cheddar), divided

**Preheat oven to 350 F°.
**Place the quartered tortillas on an oil sprayed baking sheet, then spray the tops with additional oil.
  **Bake for 5 minutes, remove and set aside.
  *In a large bowl, whisk one egg. Add the milk, sour cream, salsa, shredded chicken, cubed cream cheese, cilantro, scallions and salt. Stir to combine.
**Arrange half of the par-baked tortillas on the bottom of an oil sprayed 7×11 baking dish. Layer half the chicken mixture on top of the tortillas, then layer 1 cup of the cheese blend on top.
**Continue to layer the rest of the tortillas on top, followed by the remaining chicken mixture and cheese.
  **Bake uncovered for 35 minutes.
 SOOOOO yummy!
