  • Mix sour cream, condensed soup, and cilantro in a saucepan over medium heat; cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Spray a large skillet with cooking spray; add diced tomatoes, chicken, onion, and green chiles. Cook and stir over medium heat until onion is transparent, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray an 8x11-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
