Ingredients
Scale:
1 pound ground chicken
2 cups broccoli florets
1 cup cottage cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
Add the ground chicken to the skillet. Use a spatula to break it up, cooking until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the broccoli florets, cottage cheese, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread it evenly and top with shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Once done, remove from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
