Ingredients
1 cup breaded chicken breast, cooked and sliced
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cup marinara sauce
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Instructions
In a serving bowl, layer the cottage cheese as the base.
Add sliced, cooked breaded chicken breast on top.
Spoon marinara sauce evenly over the chicken.
Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Garnish with chopped fresh basil.
Serve immediately. Optional: broil for 2 minutes to melt and bubble the cheese.
Notes
Swap breaded chicken with grilled chicken for a lighter, low-carb option.
Add spinach, arugula, or zucchini noodles for a veggie boost.
Mix garlic powder and Italian seasoning into the cottage cheese for extra flavor.
Use store-bought chicken tenders for a quicker version.
