  • Author: masterchef
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
– 1 cup canned artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
– 1 cup cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat based on preference)
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating Spinach Artichoke Chicken with Cottage Cheese is a simple process that yields satisfying results. Follow these straightforward steps for a delightful meal:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it with cooking spray or olive oil.

2. Sauté the Spinach and Garlic: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

3. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, cottage cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir until well blended. Set this mixture aside.

4. Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Season each breast with salt, pepper, and any additional spices you desire for extra flavor.

5. Stuff the Chicken: Spoon the spinach-artichoke-cottage cheese mixture evenly over each chicken breast. Make sure to cover each piece generously for the best flavor.

6. Top with Mozzarella: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the stuffed chicken breasts.

7. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. The chicken should be cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C), and the top should be golden and bubbly.

With these easy steps, you’ll have a delightful dish that will impress your family and friends!
