Chicken casserole with vegetables and cottage cheese is a harmony of tender chicken meat, juicy vegetables, and soft cottage cheese baked to a golden crust. This dish has roots in Russian cuisine where casseroles became a symbol of cozy family dinners. The taste surprises with the combination of chicken tenderness, vegetable freshness, and creaminess of cottage cheese, creating a rich texture and depth of aroma. Cauliflower adds light airiness while sweet peppers and tomatoes contribute juiciness. The casserole is perfect for both lunch and dinner; it is easily digestible and filling. It can be served as a standalone dish or with a light sauce, sour cream or fresh herbs to highlight its natural flavor. It’s not just food — it’s comfort, warmth, and a delicious memory of home traditions.
