Looking for an easy high-protein chicken dinner that’s creamy, comforting, and packed with wholesome ingredients?

Made with juicy chicken, broccoli, cottage cheese, feta, Parmesan, spinach, and mozzarella, it’s naturally low carb, gluten-free, keto (with one simple swap), and perfect for busy weeknights or meal prep.

Add them to a pot of boiling water and bring back to a boil. Cook for 2 minutes or until fork tender at the stem. Drain and set aside. 1:06 Lightly drizzle olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté your diced onions until golden, and if you’re using scallions, just sauté them for one minute. Then add in the spinach and sauté until just wilted. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate and gently squeeze out the liquids. Set aside. 2:15 Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and add the seasonings, and then toss to coat evenly. Heat olive oil in the same pan over medium high heat and add the chicken in a single layer. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, then transfer to a plate. 3:05 In a large bowl crack the eggs, add milk, olive oil, cottage cheese, Parmesan, feta, breadcrumbs ( or almond flour), dill, spinach mixture and seasonings, give it a good mix and set it aside. 5:47 In a 9 by 13 inch casserole dish, add in the broccoli first, next, layer the chicken evenly, then, spoon the bake mixture evenly over the top, finely top everything with grated mozzarella. 6:53 Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F/ 190°C for 35 to 40 minutes. Broil for 1-2 minutes or until the top is golden to your liking. 7:29 Garnish with chopped fresh dill or scallions, and enjoy every bite! 👌🏻😊 ✨Ingredient Swap • Ricotta can be used instead of cottage cheese. • For a gluten-free version, use almond flour instead of panko breadcrumbs. ✨Storage If you’re lucky enough to have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. ✨Reheating Reheat individual portions in the microwave, or warm the whole bake in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 15–20 minutes, or until heated through. 💚 If you enjoyed this recipe, I’d love to hear from you!
