Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (similar size for even cooking)
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray an 8×8-inch baking dish with olive oil.
- Add cottage cheese, Parmesan, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to a blender. Blend for 30–45 seconds until smooth and creamy.
- Place chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and pour the blended sauce evenly over the chicken.
- Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and sauce is bubbling with light golden spots.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley or chives if desired.
Notes
