Description

A comforting dish that combines creamy cottage cheese, earthy artichokes, and fresh spinach for a delightful family favorite.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Boneless chicken (breast or thighs)
  • 1 cup Cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup Cream or yogurt
  • 4 cups Fresh spinach
  • 1 can Artichoke hearts, drained
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Season with salt, pepper, and herbs. Cook in a skillet over medium heat for 6-7 minutes each side until golden brown. Let rest.
  2. Make the creamy sauce: In the same skillet, sauté garlic in olive oil until fragrant. Add spinach and stir until wilted.
  3. Combine ingredients: Add drained artichokes and cottage cheese, stirring to combine.
  4. Pour in cream or broth. Simmer gently to meld flavors.
  5. Combine with chicken: Slice the chicken, return it to the skillet, and spoon sauce over the chicken.
  6. Cheesy finish: Sprinkle cheese on top and cover for a minute until melted.
  7. Serving: Serve warm with sides like garlic bread, steamed vegetables, or salad.

Notes

For extra flavor, let the chicken rest before slicing. Use fresh spinach for the best texture.
