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
- Creating the Cottage Cheese Chicken Parm Bowl is simple if you follow these easy steps:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish.
- Prepare Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
- Set Up Breading Station: In one bowl, beat the eggs. In another bowl, place the breadcrumbs.
- Bread the Chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, then coat it with breadcrumbs, pressing firmly to adhere.
- 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.
- In a large bowl, mix the cottage cheese, half of the mozzarella cheese, and half of the Parmesan cheese.
- 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.
- Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the cottage cheese layer. Top with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
- 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.
- 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.
