1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

2. Spread the frozen french fries out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes to partially cook and crisp them slightly. Remove and set aside.

5. Spread the chicken and sauce mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.

6. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken mixture.

7. Arrange the partially cooked french fries on top, creating an even layer.

8. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the french fries.

9. Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
