Start by cooking your chicken using your preferred method—grilling or boiling works best. If boiling, let it simmer for about 15–20 minutes until fully cooked and tender. Once done, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces and set it aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy cottage cheese, shredded chicken, marinara sauce, and Italian seasoning. Add salt and pepper to taste, and mix everything well until fully incorporated.

Next, pour your chicken and cottage cheese mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle a generous layer of shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese on top.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and once ready, place the baking dish inside. Bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly with a golden hue on top.

Once out of the oven, let your High Protein Chicken Parm Cottage Cheese Bowl cool for a few minutes. Garnish generously with fresh basil leaves to add a pop of color and aroma.
