Monterrey Chicken-Rice Bake

I pulled out another recipe from Mom's gray tin of recipes. This one sounded interesting and a bit weird all at the same time. I mean who uses cottage cheese in something like this? Gross.

I ultimately decided that I was going to follow the recipe exactly as it says to. The only thing I ultimately forgot to do was season the darn thing. Had I not forgotten that this would have been much better. As it was it was just meh.

I also didn't add the Monterrey grated cheese. I already had some shredded cheese in my drawer and just chose to use it instead. I really think Monterrey shredded cheese would have made this more creamy.
