Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  4. Transfer the chicken and sauce mixture into a glass baking dish and spread into an even layer.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the chicken.
  6. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is golden and bubbly.

Ensure cucumber is squeezed very dry to prevent the casserole from becoming too watery.
