Begin by patting your chicken breast or thighs dry with a paper towel and generously season both sides with salt, paprika, and black pepper.

In a large skillet, pour in a splash of olive oil or vegetable oil and heat over medium heat until shimmering.

Carefully add the seasoned chicken in a single layer to the hot skillet and allow it to sear for 4-5 minutes.

Once golden, flip the chicken pieces and continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes until fully cooked through.

After the chicken is cooked, reduce the heat to low and set the chicken aside on a plate.

Spoon the cottage cheese into the warm skillet and stir until it softens, about 2 minutes.

Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet, stirring until the cheese melts, about 1-2 minutes.

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper, if necessary.

Let the mixture simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Remove the skillet from heat and let the dish rest for a minute before serving.
