Notes

Use full-fat cottage cheese for best texture and flavor. Blending the cottage cheese makes it creamy and easy to mix with spices. Marinating even just 30 minutes makes a big difference! Thin strips = more flavor, whole breast = juicier texture. This recipe works great for meal prep – store in the fridge up to 4 days.
