Ingredients
-
1 lb chicken breast, cubed
-
1 cup cottage cheese
-
1 tsp Italian seasoning
-
¼ cup grated Parmesan
-
1 tbsp olive oil
-
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Directions
1️⃣ Prep the Chicken
Season cubed chicken with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
2️⃣ Cook the Chicken
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken cubes and cook 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and cooked through.
3️⃣ Make the Creamy Sauce
Lower heat to medium-low. Stir in cottage cheese and Parmesan, mixing until a creamy sauce forms. Cook 2–3 minutes until heated through. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
4️⃣ Combine & Finish
Coat the cooked chicken evenly with the creamy sauce. Let simmer together 2–3 minutes so flavors meld and the sauce thickens slightly.
5️⃣ Serve
Serve hot over cooked pasta, rice, or sautéed vegetables. Garnish with extra Parmesan or fresh herbs if desired.
