Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts

- 1/4 cup chopped fresh spinach
- 1/2 cup artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
- Mix the filling: Add the cottage cheese, spinach, artichoke hearts, garlic, and Parmesan cheese to the chicken, and mix well to combine.
- Prepare the baking pan: Pour olive oil into a 9×13-inch baking pan to coat the bottom. Add the chicken mixture and spread it out evenly in the pan.

- Serve: Serve hot, garnished with additional spinach if desired.
Notes

- Vegetable Substitutions: Use frozen spinach if fresh spinach isn’t available.
- Chicken Thighs: Try chicken thighs instead of breasts for a juicier option, adjusting the cooking time.
