Spread a layer of tortillas over the cheese. Spread remaining 1/2 the chicken over the tortillas, and top with almost all of the remaining sauce, reserving 1/2 cup sauce. Top with 1/3 the cheese, remaining tortillas, the reserved 1/2 cup sauce, and remaining 1/3 cheese.

Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor and texture to your casserole. Some good options include broccoli, carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Use a creamy sauce. A creamy sauce will help to keep the casserole moist and flavorful. You can use a simple white sauce, a cheese sauce, or a condensed cream of chicken soup.
- Add some crunch. A topping of crispy fried onions, crushed potato chips, or bread crumbs will add some crunch to your casserole.
- Bake until bubbly. Once the casserole is assembled, bake it until it is bubbly and hot throughout. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
Conclusion:
Chicken casserole is a classic comfort food dish that is perfect for a potluck or family dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a chicken casserole that is both delicious and satisfying.
