Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking. While the oven does its thing, pat your chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and season them with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 2: Add the Cottage Cheese

Spoon a generous amount of cottage cheese into a small bowl and give it a quick stir. Spread an even layer of cottage cheese into each seasoned chicken breast. It's what makes this chicken cottage cheese recipe so creamy and flavorful !

Step 3: Bake to Perfection

Place the prepared chicken breasts into the greased baking dish. Bake for about 30–35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (use a meat thermometer and ensure the internal temperature reads 165°F).

Step 4: Garnish and Serve

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and sprinkle some freshly chopped parsley on top. This step isn’t necessary, but it does add a pop of color and flavor to your chicken cottage cheese recipe.
