Begin by patting your chicken cubes dry; this helps achieve a beautiful sear. In a bowl, sprinkle a generous pinch of salt, paprika, and black pepper over the chicken. Toss everything together until evenly coated.

Place a large skillet over medium heat and add oil. Heat until shimmering and hot enough to sizzle when chicken is added.

Carefully add the seasoned chicken to the skillet in a single layer. Sear without moving for about 5-7 minutes until golden. Flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until cooked through.

Once chicken is cooked through, reduce the heat to low, which will help add creamy elements without curdling.

Gradually stir in cottage cheese into the skillet, mixing well with the chicken. Keep stirring gently for 2-3 minutes as the cheese warms.

Sprinkle in grated Parmesan cheese and stir continuously until it melts and combines with the cottage cheese, enriching the sauce.

Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add more salt or black pepper if required for balanced flavor.

Allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly and marry the flavors, stirring occasionally.

Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm over rice or pasta, or alongside roasted vegetables.
