Slice and serve this healthy, high-protein casserole warm

For best texture, use firm cottage cheese and drain off any excess liquid before adding it to the dish.
Finely chopping the chicken breast helps the casserole cook evenly and keeps each slice tender and juicy.
A small squeeze of lemon brightens the flavor and balances the richness of the cheese without making the dish taste overtly lemony.
Feel free to add favorite dried herbs, such as oregano or Italian seasoning, but avoid adding watery vegetables that could change the bake time.
Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before slicing so it holds its shape better on the plate.
Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to three days and reheat gently to avoid drying out the chicken.
