Zesty Cottage Chicken Skillet with Broccoli

How to make it

1. 1

   Start by cutting your boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite sized pieces. You want them about one inch cubes so they cook evenly and quickly.

2. 2

   Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tiny splash of olive oil if you like, but it is not essential. Cook the chicken pieces until they are golden brown and mostly cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

3. 3

   Now it is time for the broccoli. Toss the fresh broccoli florets into the skillet with the chicken. Stir it all together, then add about a quarter cup of water to the pan. Cover the skillet and let it steam for about 5 minutes, until the broccoli is tender-crisp.

4. 4

   Uncover the skillet. Stir in the low fat cottage cheese, garlic powder, and fresh lemon juice. Mix everything gently until the cottage cheese is warmed through and creates a light, creamy sauce.

5. 5

   Give it a taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious, protein packed meal.
