Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen spinach
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

  2. In a large bowl, mix softened cream cheese, cottage cheese, and half the mozzarella until smooth.
  3. Add minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  4. Fold in shredded chicken and spinach until evenly coated.

Notes

Use softened cream cheese for the smoothest texture. Drain chicken well if using leftovers to avoid excess moisture.
