Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Grease a 10-inch pie plate or shallow baking dish.
  3. In a bowl, combine 1 cup small curd cottage cheese and 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Spread this mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pie plate.
  4. In another bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups cooked and diced chicken, 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon basil, and 6 oz tomato paste.
  5. Spoon the chicken mixture evenly over the cottage cheese layer in the pie plate.
  6. In a blender, combine 1 cup milk, 2 eggs, 2/3 cup Bisquick, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Blend on high for 15 seconds, then mix by hand for 1 minute until smooth.
  7. Pour the batter evenly over the chicken layer in the pie plate.
  8. Bake for 30 minutes.
  9. Remove from oven and sprinkle the remaining 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
  10. Return to oven and bake for 5-8 minutes longer, or until the top is golden and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
