Ingredients
  

Chicken and Filling Ingredients
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts or 4 small
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 cup canned or frozen artichoke hearts drained and chopped
  • 1 cup fresh spinach chopped or ½ cup frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • Skillet
  • Baking dish

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold the chicken breasts in a single layer.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Sear them for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown but not fully cooked.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, chopped artichokes, spinach, garlic, onion powder, basil, and half of the Parmesan and mozzarella. Mix until well blended.
  4. Place the seared chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Generously spread the spinach artichoke mixture over each piece.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan over the top of the chicken and filling.
  6. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F) and the cheese is golden and bubbly. If desired, broil for the last 2–3 minutes for a crispier top.
  7. Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving. Spoon a little of the extra sauce from the pan over the chicken.
