Easy Shredded Tortilla Cottage Cheese Chicken Pie
This quick and delicious recipe will have you coming back for more.
I make this simple recipe for meal prep to use as a breakfast, lunch or dinner. You can easily customize it with what you prefer as the add ins. Feta cheese is awesome here, as are olives, cooked sausage crumbles, chopped ham, turkey, shrimp etc. The possibilities are endless.
You can customize this recipe to make it gluten free by using gluten free wraps. You can make it low carb by using low carb wraps. I toasted my wraps for 5 minutes in the oven to give the pie more of a cooked feeling inside.

So delicious! Used sharp white cheddar cheese and two cups chicken. Baked for 40 minutes and broiled for 3 minutes. This recipe is definitely a keeper.
Great tasting and easy to make, can’t wait to try it with jalepenos!
Hi Virginia, thank you for trying it out and yes jalapenos here sounds like a great idea!
Made this today with turkey instead of chicken, added shredded spinach also.
Very good yasou yummy!
I have not made this yet but am planning to tonight. Is this an egg-y tasting dish? I was planning on doing a Mexican application and adding some drained rotel (tomatoes and green chiles) and topping with sour cream and hot sauce if it is more like a casserole or taco bake texture. If it is egg-y like a quiche I was going to go more for a zucchini, asparagus, goat cheese vive. Any thoughts on the general texture or what would go best?
Sill jabbering from my last post, I want to make my next one with some shredded corned beef, shredded Swiss cheese, and drained sauerkraut.
This is easy to make, but you can vary it so many ways to suite individual tastes. I will make this again many times, in many different ways.
A new family favorite! With a rotisserie chicken, this was quick and easy.
I could not give this enough stars. My incredibly fussy 9 year old declared this the best thing I have ever made. As I was mixing the ingredients together I was feeling pretty dubious about it, but it turned out soooo good! Definitely making again, and again. We had this pie for dinner, paired with carrot sticks and a simple salad.
HI Sheree, Love the pairings and I’m so happy everyone enjoyed the recipe!
Loved this chicken cottage cheese cake! My only problem was my parchment paper was cheap and stuck to it!
Hi Alison, Oh no i’m so sorry that happened!
I bought Costco brand ( if you are a member) Also sprayed paper lightly with canola oil also the pan.
I used sliced potatoes instead of tortillas. So good with broccolini and ham!
MMMMM that sounds delicious Sheri!!
Delicious and a keeper!!! Just added sautéed onion and chopped sun dried tomatoes. Cooked chicken with taco seasoning for added flavor. Easy and delicious-a winning combination!
This has become our twice weekly go to meal. Easy and quick to make, which my wife loves, and makes my blood sugars behave. Your low-carbs recipes are real treasures. Thanks so much.
