Step-by-Step Method
Preheat and prep
Heat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly grease a baking dish and set it aside.
Start the white sauce
Melt the butter and margarine in a pot. Add the garlic and stir for about 30 seconds. Sprinkle in the flour and cook 1–2 minutes, stirring, to remove the raw flour taste.
Whisk until smooth
Slowly pour in the milk and chicken broth, whisking constantly. Add the salt. When the sauce thickens, stir in the mozzarella and 1 cup Parmesan, then take it off the heat.
Mix the filling
In a bowl, combine the onion, basil, oregano, black pepper, cream-style cottage cheese, shredded chicken, and spinach. If it feels too thick, loosen it with a few spoonfuls of sauce.
Layer the casserole
Spread a thin layer of sauce in the bottom of the dish. Add a layer of filling, then drizzle more sauce. Keep layering until everything is used, finishing with sauce on top.
Add the topping
Sprinkle the remaining 2 cups Parmesan evenly over the top. If you like a more melty top, add a little extra mozzarella.
Bake and rest
Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the top is browned and the edges are bubbling. Let it rest 10 minutes before slicing so it holds together neatly.
