Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking dish or casserole dish
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Meat Thermometer
  • Cutting board + knife
  • Paper towels (for drying spinach or artichokes)
  • Slotted spoon (optional for serving)

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs Boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon Avocado oil or olive oil
  • ¾ Teaspoon Salt
  • ½ Teaspoon Pepper
  • 1 Teaspoons Garlic powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Onion powder
  • 1 cup Low-fat cottage cheese
  • ½ Block Low-fat cream cheese softened
  • 2 cups Fresh spinach chopped
  • 1 cup Artichoke hearts chopped or whole (based on preference)
  • 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese divided

Instructions
 

  • Step 1:Preheat your oven to 400°F and lightly grease a 9x13 casserole dish with cooking spray or oil.
  • Step 2: Place chicken breasts in the dish in a single layer. Drizzle with avocado oil, then season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Step 3:In a large mixing bowl, stir together cottage cheese, softened cream cheese, chopped spinach, artichoke hearts, and ½ cup mozzarella cheese. Mix until well combined.
  • Step 4: Spread the spinach mixture evenly over the top of each piece of chicken. Sprinkle with the remaining ½ cup of mozzarella.
  • Step 5: Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (use a meat thermometer for best results). Broil for 1–2 minutes to get the cheese golden brown and bubbly.
  • Step 6: Let rest for a few minutes, then serve with a side dish like roasted veggies, cauliflower rice, or potatoes and enjoy your high-protein dinner!

Notes

Hint: If you don't use a ceramic baking dish, the chicken may have longer cooking temperatures. If you have a glass baking dish, you may want to consider slicing your chicken breasts in half length wise to get thinner cutlets, or you can cube your chicken!
