Creating Spinach Artichoke Chicken with Cottage Cheese is easy when you follow these steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Sear Chicken: In an oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
4. Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, combine the chopped spinach, artichoke hearts, cottage cheese, and half of the mozzarella. Mix well to incorporate.
5. Fill the Chicken: Place the filling into the pocket of each chicken breast, ensuring to pack it gently but firmly. If needed, secure with toothpicks.
6. Bake: Return the stuffed chicken to the skillet. Top each chicken breast with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
7. Cook in Oven: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
8. Garnish: Remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley for an added touch of color.
9. Serve: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
