Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). While the oven is warming up, I like to gather all my ingredients and equipment to make the cooking process smoother. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Give it a good whisk until everything is nicely blended. It smells absolutely divine! The creamy mixture is perfect for coating the chicken. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
