Ingredients
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup cottage cheese
– 1 cup frozen spinach, thawed and drained
– 1 cup canned artichoke hearts, chopped
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1 tablespoon garlic powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Creating Spinach Artichoke Chicken with Cottage Cheese is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also pound them to an even thickness for even cooking.
3. Mix Filling: In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese, thawed spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, and half of the mozzarella cheese. Mix well.
4. Stuff Chicken: Carefully cut a pocket into each chicken breast. Stuff the mixture into the pockets, ensuring it’s equally distributed. You can secure them with toothpicks if necessary.
5. Place in Baking Dish: Arrange the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
7. Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and prevents any filling from escaping.
