A protein-packed, cheesy chicken parmesan-inspired bowl that's quick to prepare and full of flavor.

1 cup cottage cheese (creamy base that adds protein and richness)
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning (adjust to taste with available herbs)
to taste salt salt (enhances overall seasoning)
to taste pepper pepper (freshly ground pepper elevates flavor)
2 cups grilled chicken breast (make sure it's cooked and sliced for easy layering)
1 cup marinara sauce (opt for a quality brand or homemade)
1 cup mozzarella cheese (low-fat mozzarella can lighten this dish)
1/4 cup parmesan cheese (freshly grated cheese will provide the most robust taste)

Layer cottage cheese in a baking dish and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Add sliced grilled chicken on top, then pour marinara sauce over it.
Sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan cheeses over the top.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden.
Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Using low-fat cheese and lean chicken keeps this dish high in protein and relatively light.
