Now it’s one of those go-to meals when I want something homemade but not complicated.

Why This Recipe Works (Quick Science)
Cottage cheese and eggs create a protein-rich base that firms up when baked. The oat flour gives structure while keeping it soft inside. Baking powder adds a slight lift so it doesn’t feel dense.
Cooking the chicken separately at high heat locks in juices, while resting it helps redistribute moisture so every bite stays tender. The yogurt sauce adds acidity, which balances the richness and boosts flavor.
