A comforting twist on classic spinach artichoke dip, this protein-packed chicken dinner brings together tender chicken breast, creamy cottage cheese, and a luxurious blend of spinach and artichokes. The prep work takes just 15 minutes, and while it bakes, you’re free to tackle other tasks or simply relax with family. At our house, it’s become the go-to dinner for busy weeknights when we want something nutritious yet indulgent, and it’s equally perfect for casual dinner parties where you want to impress without stress. My kids, who once claimed to hate cottage cheese, now request this dish at least twice a month!
