Method
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, and pesto until smooth. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add the broccoli florets and saute for 3 to 4 minutes, until just fork-tender. Season with salt and pepper. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Season the cubed chicken with salt and cook for about 5 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked.
- Add the broccoli, cooked chicken, cherry tomatoes, and shredded mozzarella to the bowl with the cottage cheese mixture. Mix until everything is well coated.
- Pour the mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish. Spread evenly. If using, dot the top with mini mozzarella balls and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling.
- Allow the dish to rest for 5 to 10 minutes after baking. Garnish with chili flakes and fresh basil before serving.
Notes
Don't overcook the broccoli before baking. Pre-cook the chicken thoroughly for best flavor. Use fresh pesto when possible. Let it rest after baking for cleaner servings. For keto, swap cottage cheese with mascarpone or full-fat ricotta.
