Ingredients
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish or pie pan with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, 1/4 cup parmesan, 2 eggs, garlic, dried basil, mustard, onion powder, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper.
Add the rice, onion, tomatoes, zucchini, corn, chicken, and 1/2 of the fresh basil, stirring well to combine.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Pour the mixture into the prepared dish, using a spatula to smooth the top.
Sprinkle the top with the remaining parmesan.
Cover the baking dish tightly with foil.
Bake for 35 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake until the cheese turns golden brown, about 15 minutes.
Allow the casserole to cool for 15 minutes.
Serve, garnished with the remaining fresh basil.
