The tastiest, simplest and nutritious chicken ever (IMO)

CaoimheAine

I'm no chef, but wanted to share this with you because I think it is amazzzing.

Recipe is so simple. First off, the ingredients:

1 chicken breast, skin off
2 tablespoons of low fat cottage cheese
2-3 teaspoons of cajun spice/seasoning

Method:

1. Pre-heat the oven to 180degrees celcius (fan forced).
2. Cut a 'pouch' into your chicken breast, making sure both sides are of even thickness.
3. Mix together the 2 tablespoons of cottage cheese, and 2-3 teaspoons of cajun seasoning, depending on how spicey you'd like it, and stuff it evenly into the pouch.
4. Wrap the chicken breast snuggly with aluminium foil and place in the oven.
5. After 10-15 minutes, take it out and rotate the chicken onto the other side, leaving it to bake for another 10 minutes.
6. EAT serve with salad, vegies, or my favourite, sweet potato fries.

Nutritional info as follows (for a WHOLE chicken breast)




Note: The foil wrap here is very important as it locks in the chicken's roasting juices. No one likes bland chicken

Let me know how it goes

great idea.

I tend to eat cottage cheese by the tub full so I'll have to use a bit for the chicken next time

I'm sure there are less calories in a single breast than 284, but I might be wrong :flowerforyou:

I like cottage cheese, but not THAT much on it's own Chris ! hahaha :laugh:

I think so also, MFP must generate the cals from a larger sized one. Single chicken breasts from Woolworths are almost double the size of the petty ones I bought from Coles today :S

Funny. I was going to say just the opposite. I use 420 cals for a breast. 35 calories per ounce, 12 ounces. I guess I get big breasts (too easy :laugh: ) .
