Top the casserole with the sliced or shredded cheese
Bake for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

NOTES

We pre-cooked our chicken right before making the casserole, so the chicken was still warm, If you're starting with cold precooked chicken, you may need to cook the casserole a little longer.

Using regular cottage cheese instead of light is recommended, light cottage cheese will add more liquid to the mixture

Using a chunkier salsa instead of a runnier salsa is also recommended. A salsa with more liquid may leave a little liquid in the bottom of the casserole after cooking.
