Chicken pockets with cottage cheese
Description
In my opinion, this is one of the healthiest ways to prepare a meat dish. Chicken breasts contain plenty of healthy protein and aren't pre-fried, while the filling includes calcium-rich cottage cheese and fresh herbs. The finished dish can be served with your favorite side dish, or cooled and used as a snack or ingredient for salads. Enjoy cooking!

Chop the herbs, mix with the cottage cheese. Make a slit in the chicken breasts to form a "pocket." Fill the pockets with the filling and secure with toothpicks.
