Ingredients
  

2 cups cottage cheese

1 pound chicken breast, boneless and skinless

1 cup marinara sauce

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, mix the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub this spice mixture all over the chicken breasts.

    Cook the Chicken: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Once cooked through, remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes.

      Slice the Chicken: After resting, slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

        Assemble the Bowl: In the same skillet, pour in the marinara sauce and bring it to a simmer. Add the sliced chicken back to the skillet, making sure it's well-coated with the sauce.

          Add Cheeses: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan evenly over the chicken and sauce mixture.

            Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

              Serve: While the chicken is baking, prepare your cottage cheese bowls by spooning the cottage cheese into serving bowls. Once the chicken is ready, top the cottage cheese with the cheesy chicken and marinara mixture.

                Garnish: Finish off with fresh basil leaves for a burst of flavor and color.

                  Enjoy: Serve hot and dig into your creamy, cheesy Chicken Parm Cottage Cheese Bowl!
