Cut each chicken breast into 3 pieces and place in a small pot.
2
Pour the enchilada sauce over the chicken, cover, and cook on low to medium heat until chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

In a rectangular baking dish, spread 1/4 cup of the reserved enchilada sauce over the bottom. Layer 2 tortillas, followed by 1/3 of the shredded chicken, 1/3 of the black beans, 1/3 of the corn, 1/3 of the remaining enchilada sauce, 1/3 of the Monterey Jack cheese, and 1/3 of the cheddar cheese. Repeat this process for two more layers.
6
Bake the casserole for 20-30 minutes uncovered, until bubbly and cheese is melted and golden brown.
7
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.
