You ever feel like you don't want any meat? I get that feeling sometimes and this is a great dish if you do not want to be a carnivore for a day. This is an easy dish to serve on the weekdays because all you have to do is mix a few ingredients together and then bake! Easy, easy, easy! Not to mention this is awesome comfort food that I think anyone in the family would love! Enjoy!

Any tips on adding chicken? Thanks!
Maybe make this 2 servings by dividing the recipe in half and add 6 oz of chicken and an additional 3 greens to your meal.
So it would be like this:
1/4 cup egg beaters (1/8 Lean)
1 1/2 cups broccoli (3 Greens)
4.5 oz 1% cottage cheese (3/8 Lean)
1/4 tsp Mrs dash garlic and herb seasoning (1 Condiment)
1/8 tsp salt (1/2 Condiment)
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese (1 Condiment)
1/2 cup shredded reduced fat cheddar cheese (1/2 Lean)
1 tbsp light butter (1 Healthy Fat for the cottage cheese and egg beaters)
6 oz chicken (1 Lean)
This will be 2 servings with 1 Lean, 1 1/2 Greens (you will need to have 1 1/2 more greens such as 3/4 cup of green beans or 1 1/2 cups of lettuce) 1 1/4 condiments, 1 Healthy Fat per serving... I would season the chicken with your favorite spice too since you have almost 2 condiments left
Hey Sandy! Kudos to your awesome website!! We are a big family...7 of us to be exact....and I'm guessing in order to make this for my whole family...I just times your recipe by 7? The real struggle I have with being on medifast is cooking for my whole family and measuring portions. So for example I make this and I would either have to make mine on the side...and then a bigger one for them...does that make sense? Is there any shortcuts? What would be nice is if we knew the weight of how much I'm suppossed to eat..I can just weigh it get what I need and throw the rest to the pack of wolves (my kids and hubby)....you are amazing and appreciate what you and your hubby are doing for my family!!!!!
Thanks again!!

You could times it by 8 and cut it into 8 squares. You can take out one square for you and save the rest for your family :)Sometimes I have to cook something separate for my husband but sometimes he eats what I eat too.
With the amount one serving makes, would this fit in like a casserole dish for times it by 8?
Maybe two casserole dishes? One serving is a nice sized serving.
Sandy what if you don't like cottage cheese. Is there a way to have this dish with more cheese to substitute the cottage cheese?
You can use 3.5 oz of cheese (a little less than 1 cup for the total amount) to make 7/8 lean instead of using cottage cheese. The only thing is, this dish wouldn't be as creamy. How about ricotta cheese?
Should I steam the broccoli first?
So today I made a triple batch of this to freeze for later use, and while separating the servings had a few tastes...it is awesome! I made a few changes, like instead of all broccoli I used both broccoli and cauliflower. I also subbed another seasoning for Mrs Dash, since it isn't my favorite. I'm thinking that even the cottage cheese haters will enjoy this, because you really don't notice the cottage cheese other than the creaminess.Thanks so much, Sandy!
