Description

A lighter take on the classic Alfredo sauce, blending creamy cottage cheese with tender chicken for a delicious meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until they are browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side.
  3. In a blender, combine cottage cheese, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and minced garlic. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Pour the creamy sauce over the chicken in a baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For added flavor, consider incorporating fresh herbs into the sauce or serve it with garlic bread.
