1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

# Steps:
01 -
Sprinkle salt, paprika, and black pepper evenly over the chicken cubes and mix to coat.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Arrange the chicken in a single layer and cook until golden on one side, then flip and cook until fully cooked through.
03 -
Reduce heat to low and add the cottage cheese to the skillet. Stir gently to allow it to warm and begin melting into a creamy sauce.

Simmer gently for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt if necessary, then remove from heat and serve warm.
# Tips:
01 -
Use full-fat cottage cheese for a richer, creamier sauce and lower the heat before adding to prevent curdling. Chicken thighs remain juicier, but breasts are a suitable alternative.
