Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Boil orzo for 7–8 minutes until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • Steam or blanch broccoli for 3–4 minutes. Set aside.
  • Sauté diced shallot in a skillet with oil until softened (2–3 minutes).
  • Add chicken broth, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika to pan. Simmer 2 minutes.
  • Reduce heat, stir in cottage cheese until creamy and smooth.
  • Add shredded chicken, broccoli, and orzo. Mix until combined.
  • Transfer to greased baking dish. Spread mixture evenly.
  • Bake for 30–35 minutes covered with foil. Remove foil, top with mozzarella, parsley and red pepper flakes, and bake another 10 minutes.

Notes

For a saucier bake, double the sauce and stir half in after baking. Use rotisserie chicken to save time. Portion and freeze for easy reheating.
