Ingredients

1 pound Chicken cooked, shredded or cubed
1.5 cups Cottage Cheese small curd
1 cup Marinara Sauce low sugar
0.5 cup Mozzarella Cheese shredded
0.25 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
Seasonings garlic, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper

Equipment

Method

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken with the cottage cheese. Ensure every piece of chicken is coated.
Add garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper to the mixture. Mix well.
Transfer the mixture into individual oven-safe bowls or a smaller baking dish. Pour the marinara sauce directly over the center.
Generously sprinkle the mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese over the top.
Place the bowls in the oven for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it sit for a minute. Garnish with fresh basil and a drizzle of olive oil.
