Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Cut the chicken breasts and place them in the dish: Cut the chicken breasts into halves. Line a 1 ½- to 2-quart casserole baking dish with the chicken pieces. Try to cover the bottom as completely as you can with the chicken.
Cover with the salsa verde: Cover completely. There should be no exposed chicken or it will dry out.
Bake the chicken: Bake the chicken for 25 to 30 minutes. If you have a meat thermometer, use it. The chicken should be removed from the oven when the internal temperature of the breast meat reaches 150°F.
Increase the heat, top with cheese, and return to oven: Increase the oven heat to 400°F. Sprinkle the cheese over the chicken, and return to the oven for another 5 to 10 minutes, enough time for the cheese to melt and the sauce to get bubbly.
Serve: Remove from oven. Serve immediately. Spoon over cooked rice or quinoa. Sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips for crunch if you would like.
