Lemon-Herb Chicken with Whipped Cottage Cheese
Pan-seared chicken breast seasoned with zesty lemon and fresh herbs served over a bed of silky whipped cottage cheese and crisp garden vegetables.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup low-fat cottage cheese
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
0.5 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 cup sliced cucumber
0.5 cup halved cherry tomatoes
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Place the cottage cheese in a small food processor or high-speed blender and pulse until completely smooth and creamy.
Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with the dried oregano, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and sear for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the skillet from the heat, drizzle the fresh lemon juice and zest over the chicken, and let it rest for 3 minutes before slicing into strips.
Spread the whipped cottage cheese onto the center of a plate and arrange the sliced chicken, cucumbers, and cherry tomatoes on top.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and an additional crack of black pepper to finish.
