Description

This chicken breast recipe is a delightful twist on a classic comfort food. I've been making it for years, and it's always a hit! The creamy spinach and cottage cheese filling adds a wonderful richness and flavor to the chicken. It's perfect for a cozy weeknight dinner or even a festive Christmas meal. The Cajun seasoning gives it a little kick, but you can adjust the amount to your liking. This dish is also a great way to sneak in some extra veggies! It takes about 45 minutes from start to finish, making it a relatively quick and easy meal.
