Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast, cubed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 ½ cups low-fat or fat-free cottage cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs

Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine cottage cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until well combined.

  4. Pour 1 cup of marinara sauce into the baking dish and spread it evenly.
  5. Evenly distribute the cooked chicken over the marinara sauce layer.
  6. Spoon the cottage cheese mixture over the chicken, then sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.
  7. Pour another cup of marinara sauce over the cheese layer and spread gently.
  8. Combine breadcrumbs with olive oil and Italian seasoning, then sprinkle evenly over the casserole. Finish with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  9. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  10. Remove the foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  11. Let the casserole rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
