Description

A creamy and delicious take on chicken parmesan using cottage cheese as a base.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup cottage cheese
  • ¾ cup cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
  • ¼ cup marinara sauce
  • ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: chopped fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Start with the base of cottage cheese into a microwave-safe bowl. Think of this as the creamy, protein-rich base that brings everything together. Give it a quick stir to smooth it out a bit—it doesn’t need to be perfect.
  2. Add the cooked chicken to the cottage cheese. I love using leftover grilled chicken breast or rotisserie chicken—it saves time and still tastes amazing. Season lightly with salt, pepper, and half of the Italian seasoning.
  3. Spoon the marinara sauce over the chicken. Choose a sauce you love—whether homemade or store-bought. The warm tomato flavor is key to giving that classic Chicken Parmesan taste.
  4. Cheese it up with mozzarella cheese over the top. Then add the grated Parmesan and the remaining Italian seasoning. You can even add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you want a little heat.
  5. Heat it up on high for about 1½ to 2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and everything is warmed through. Alternatively, you can bake it at 375°F for 10 minutes in an oven-safe dish if you prefer a bubbly, slightly crisped top.
  6. Garnish and enjoy with chopped basil or parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Grab a spoon and dig into your cozy cottage cheese chicken parm bowl.
