Cooking Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper on both sides.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F.
  4. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips or cubes.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the marinara sauce with dried basil and garlic powder.
  6. Divide cottage cheese between two oven-safe bowls (1 cup each) or place all cottage cheese in one 8x8-inch baking dish.
  7. Top the cottage cheese with the cooked chicken pieces.
  8. Pour the marinara sauce mixture over the chicken.
  9. Sprinkle with mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  11. Remove from the oven, let cool for 2-3 minutes, and garnish with fresh basil before serving.
