Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup marinara sauce

1 cup cottage cheese (whole or low-fat)

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish

Olive oil, for cooking

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season both sides of the chicken breasts with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

    Cook the Chicken: In an oven-safe skillet, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown.

      Add Sauce and Cheese: Pour the marinara sauce over the chicken breasts in the skillet. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese on top.

        Bake the Chicken: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.

          Prepare the Cottage Cheese Bowl: While the chicken is baking, scoot the cottage cheese into bowls (one bowl per serving).

            Assemble: Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven. Let it cool for a minute, then slice the chicken into strips and place it over the cottage cheese.

              Serve: Drizzle any extra marinara sauce from the skillet over the top and garnish with fresh basil or parsley. Serve warm.
