Chicken Zucchini Cottage Cheese Bake
Tender chicken breast and shredded zucchini baked in a creamy, protein-rich cottage cheese sauce for a savory and satisfying casserole.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
1 medium zucchini
0.33 cup low-fat cottage cheese
1 large egg
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
0.25 cup yellow onion
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp dried oregano
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small oven-safe baking dish with a touch of olive oil.
Grate the zucchini using a box grater and place the shreds into a clean kitchen towel; squeeze firmly over the sink to remove as much excess moisture as possible.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and finely dice the yellow onion.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the onion and chicken until the chicken is browned and the onion is translucent.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, then remove from heat.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, egg, sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano until smooth.
Fold the sautéed chicken, onions, and the squeezed zucchini into the cottage cheese mixture until evenly combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese, and bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden and the center is set.
