Comment:

One word... WOW! Honestly one of the best and tastiest chicken breast variations I've ever had.

Lots of protein, several servings (two if you want large portions, four if you want smaller portions). An incredible mix of flavors that work very well together. At the same time, it's a light recipe and you can add your favorite side dishes to it... potatoes, rice, vegetables and anything else you can think of.

Would I make the recipe again? Definitely yes! The meat was beautifully soft and supple thanks to the tomato paste and cottage cheese. I repeat again... WOW!

Recipe variations: I would keep the base the same, but as I already wrote, you can combine different side dishes and thus change the flavors.

I hope you like my recipe. I will be happy if you check out other recipes. Every Saturday a new, original protein recipe is released.
