Description

Cottage Cheese Chicken Parm Bowl is an amazing ultimate recipe.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (Italian-style for extra flavor)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Creating the Cottage Cheese Chicken Parm Bowl is simple if you follow these easy steps:
  2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish.
  3. Prepare Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
  4. Set Up Breading Station: In one bowl, beat the eggs. In another bowl, place the breadcrumbs.
  5. Bread the Chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, then coat it with breadcrumbs, pressing firmly to adhere.
  6. Sauté Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the breaded chicken and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  7. In a large bowl, mix the cottage cheese, half of the mozzarella cheese, and half of the Parmesan cheese.
  8. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce at the bottom of the baking dish. Place the sautéed chicken on top, then spoon the cottage cheese mixture over the chicken.
  9. Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the cottage cheese layer. Top with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  10. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  11. Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, add crushed red pepper flakes to the marinara sauce.
  • Use fresh herbs for garnish for added flavor.
  • You can substitute chicken with turkey for a leaner option.
