Ingredients

• 2 pieces skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• 100 grams cottage cheese
• 100 grams cooked quinoa
• 50 grams unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 2 pieces garlic cloves
• 50 grams whole wheat flour
• 2 pieces eggs
• 100 grams whole wheat breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

Slice each chicken breast lengthwise to create a pocket, being careful not to cut through completely.

Step 3

In a bowl, mix together cottage cheese, cooked quinoa, softened butter, chopped parsley, and minced garlic to form a stuffing.

Step 4

Season the stuffing with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 5

Stuff each chicken breast with the mixture and secure the edges using toothpicks to hold the stuffing inside.

Step 6

Season the outside of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

Step 7

Prepare a breading station with three plates: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with whole wheat breadcrumbs.

Step 8

Coat each stuffed chicken breast first in flour, then dip it in the egg mixture, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.

Step 9

Heat olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 10

Sear the chicken breasts in the skillet until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side.

Step 11

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.

Step 12

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 13

Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
