We could not stop eating this delicious one pan wonder. It contains everything we love, in an easy to make recipe. The cherry on top is that it literally tastes like you’re eating lasagna thanks to the cottage cheese. It lends this super creamy texture while also adding more protein to your dinner. If you don’t have cottage cheese, you can sub in sour cream.

The beauty of this dish is that you can use any protein and vegetables you have, they don’t have to be chicken, zucchini and mushrooms. Next time I’m trying this with sausage, peppers and eggplant.
