Ingredients

Main ingredients

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts Similar size for even cooking.
  • 1 cup cottage cheese Full-fat or low-fat.
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • as needed spray Olive oil spray For greasing the dish.
  • as needed garnish chopped parsley or chives Optional garnish.

Method

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray an 8×8-inch baking dish with olive oil.
  • In a blender, add the cottage cheese, Parmesan, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Blend for 30-45 seconds until completely smooth and creamy.
  • Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and pour the blended sauce evenly over them, ensuring each piece is fully coated.

Baking

  • Bake the dish uncovered for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the sauce is bubbling with light golden spots on top.
  • Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute. You can garnish with fresh parsley or chives if desired.
