Steps
- Blend the sauce: Add cottage cheese, broth, and parmesan to a blender. Blend 60 to 90 seconds until completely smooth, with no curds left. Set aside.
- Sear the chicken: Pat the chicken dry. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden. Move chicken to a plate.
- Build the flavor: Lower heat to medium. Add garlic for 20 seconds. Stir in sun-dried tomatoes and red pepper flakes.
- Simmer, do not boil: Pour in the blended sauce. Stir and keep it at a gentle simmer so it stays silky. Add spinach if using and let it wilt.
- Finish in the sauce: Nestle the chicken back in. Spoon sauce over the top. Simmer 4 to 6 minutes until the thickest part is cooked through.
- Serve: Top with basil and extra parmesan if you like. Pair with zucchini noodles, a salad, or a small scoop of pasta.
