  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking oil

👩‍🍳 Methods / Instructions

2. Make the Cottage Cheese Coating

  1. In a shallow bowl, mix cottage cheese with Parmesan cheese and a pinch of extra seasoning if desired.

  2. Gently press each chicken cutlet into the cottage cheese mixture, ensuring it sticks evenly.
