Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.

2. Pound the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or in a resealable plastic bag to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.

3. Set up a breading station with the breadcrumbs in one shallow dish and the beaten eggs in another.

4. Dip the chicken breasts in the egg, then coat them in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

5. Place the breaded chicken on a baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the breading is golden brown.

6. Remove the chicken from the oven and top each piece with a spoonful of cottage cheese and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.

7. Return the chicken to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

8. Garnish the Chicken Parm Cottage Cheese Bowls with chopped fresh basil.

Notes

– For a crispier breading, you can also fry the chicken in a large skillet with a small amount of oil instead of baking.

– Try different cheese varieties, such as Parmesan or provolone, for a twist on the classic Chicken Parm.

– Serve the Chicken Parm Cottage Cheese Bowl over a bed of steamed or roasted vegetables for a complete and nutritious meal.
