Ingredients
  

  • 240 g Full-Fat Cottage Cheese 4% milkfat recommended for creaminess
  • 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 227 g Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/2 tsp Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
  • 15 ml Avocado Oil or other high-heat oil
  • 120 ml Marinara Sauce Choose a low-sugar option
  • 60 g Shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
  • 30 g Fresh Basil chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Skillet

Method
 

  1. In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the cottage cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, until completely smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  2. Pat the cubed chicken dry and season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Reduce heat to low and pour the marinara sauce over the cooked chicken. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  4. Divide the blended cottage cheese base between two bowls. Top with the chicken and marinara mixture. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top and garnish with fresh basil before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding some red pepper flakes or a sprinkle of parmesan cheese on top before serving.
