Print Recipe

A light and creamy twist on classic chicken parmesan, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup low fat or full fat cottage cheese
  • 1 cup marinara or tomato sauce
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs or panko (optional)
  • 2 cups cooked rice or 4 cups mixed greens
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil or parsley to garnish
  • Olive oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Rinse chicken and pat dry. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken 5 to 7 minutes per side until done. Remove and rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
  3. In a bowl, stir cottage cheese with Parmesan, chopped basil, and garlic powder. Blend smooth if preferred.
  4. Heat marinara in a small pot until simmering.
  5. If using, toast breadcrumbs in a pan with a little oil until golden.
  6. Place rice or greens in bowls, add sliced chicken, spoon sauce, add cottage cheese mix, and sprinkle breadcrumbs.
  7. Add fresh basil and extra Parmesan as garnish.

Notes

For a lighter bowl, serve on greens instead of rice. Reheat gently in a pan with a splash of water for best texture.
