Hi Sherisse,
Please email me at fantasticallyfit1@gmail.com and I can help you figure it out
Oh this looks great! What did you serve with it?
Thanks! I served it with parsnip fries recipe is on my blog :). But, any veggie or mashed sweet potato would be great!
Yumm I am making this chicken tonight cant wait :)) thanks for the recipe
Of course! I hope you enjoy it
I just found your blog and love it! Last night I made the spinach artichoke chicken and the pomegranite butternut squash quinoa, as a side, for my friends. It was a huge hit!
Aw I am sooo glad to hear that!
What is the purpose of the yeast? Could I skip using it?
It gives a cheesy flavor without the cheese. Nutritional yeast has a lot of healthy benefits including that it is high in B12. You could always use regular cheese as well.
what brand yeast do you use? the powder or flakes?
I use the Bragg’s Brand and the flakes. I get it from Vitacost.com
What can I use as a substitute for the cottage cheese
You could try greek yogurt but it may be more tart. My husband who HATES cottage cheese even loves this! Maybe give it a try?
You can use low fat ricotta. My son is lactose intolerant and for stuffed shell recipes we sub ricotta for Lactaid cottage cheese. You would never know the difference. So with that I say…don’t fear the curd – yo!
Awesome!
I just made this today! Absolutely delicious and easy to make- I’m definitely no chef!! Thank you so much for sharing this
For those of you who don’t like cottage cheese: I used feta cheese & it turned out great!
Yay! I am so glad to hear it!
I am making this for dinner tonight, getting lots of questions/concerns by my family members on to why this call for yeast???
Nutritional yeast adds a cheese flavor without cheese. I know the name isn’t very appealing but it tastes great! Plus, it is packed with nutrition, particularly B-vitamins, folic acid, selenium, zinc, and protein. It’s low in fat, gluten-free (check specific brands for certification), and contains no added sugars or preservatives. i use it for its flavor which is cheesy and nutty. The only substitution would be actual cheese, but then you are increasing calories and fat.

Hi! Can you substitute nonfat greek yogurt for the cottage cheese? I’m not a fan of the cheese
Yes that should work.
