Chicken and cottage cheese casserole

4 servings

20 minutes

Casserole with chicken and cottage cheese is a tender, aromatic dish of Russian cuisine that combines the airy structure of cottage cheese and the juiciness of chicken fillet. Its roots go back to the traditions of Russian village cuisine, where casseroles were a convenient way to combine simple and hearty ingredients into a harmonious flavor. In this version, thin noodles are soaked in a creamy mixture, creating a soft base, while layers of chicken, sweet pepper, and capers add zest and a slight tanginess. The casserole acquires an appetizing golden crust that crunches with every bite. It is an ideal choice for a cozy family dinner or festive table setting, served with greens and fresh vegetables. Simple to prepare yet exquisite in presentation, it leaves warm gastronomic impressions.
