Million Dollar Chicken Casserole

This million dollar chicken casserole is rich, creamy, and incredibly savory. It's so good, it's hard to stop eating! The cottage cheese is the trick to getting such a creamy texture and using rotisserie chicken keeps this recipe quick. Feel free to add peas or steamed broccoli. Serve with a simple salad or noodles.
