Creating Spinach Artichoke Chicken with Cottage Cheese is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, oregano, and Italian seasoning on both sides.
3. Sear Chicken: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
4. Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the chopped spinach, artichoke hearts, cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and minced garlic. Mix well.
