Herby Cottage Chicken & Bell Pepper Skillet

How to make it

1. 1

   First things first, chop your chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Don't worry too much about perfection, just get them ready to cook.

2. 2

   Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once it's shimmering, add your chicken pieces and sprinkle them generously with half of the Italian seasoning.

3. 3

   Cook the chicken, stirring occasionally, until it's nicely browned and cooked through. This usually takes about 6 to 8 minutes.

4. 4

   While the chicken is cooking, go ahead and chop your red bell pepper into similar bite-sized pieces. Add them to the skillet with the cooked chicken.

5. 5

   Stir in the remaining Italian seasoning and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, until the bell pepper starts to soften slightly but still has a nice crunch.

6. 6

   Finally, reduce the heat to low and gently fold in the cottage cheese. Stir just enough to warm it through, about a minute. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious, protein-packed meal!
