Simple

Cloud-soft whipped cottage cheese under golden lemon chicken — around 45 g of protein, and still quiet enough for a Tuesday.

Ingredients

What you'll gather

  • 200 g cottage cheese
  • 1 tbsp olive oil, plus more for the pan
  • 1 chicken breast (approx. 180 g), sliced
  • Zest and juice of ½ lemon
  • 1 garlic clove, grated
  • A handful of parsley, chopped
  • Chilli flakes, sea salt & black pepper

Method

A gentle path

  1. 1

    Blend the cottage cheese with a pinch of salt until completely smooth and glossy.

  2. 2

    Toss the chicken with garlic, lemon zest, salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Sear in a hot pan with olive oil, 3–4 minutes per side, until deeply golden.

  4. 4

    Off the heat, squeeze over the lemon juice and let it hiss into the pan.

  5. 5

    Spoon the whipped cottage cheese into a shallow bowl, lay the chicken on top.

  6. 6

    Finish with parsley, chilli flakes and a thread of olive oil.

A little note

Vegetarian: swap the chicken for crisped chickpeas and smoked paprika.
