    This is an easy weeknight casserole that's low carb, calorie controlled, and SO STINKING GOOD! Easy dinner idea!

    This tasty casserole is hearty enough as a meal on its own, or serve up smaller portions alongside your favorite side dishes.  While you won't be missing out on any flavor here, this dish is low carb and calorie controlled, with around 350 calories per serving!

    This easy casserole recipe fits in a standard Pyrex pie dish and makes 6 generous servings.  Cabbage is an amazing way to add some roughage and bulk to a low carb dish, and I love the method of cooking the shredded cabbage in a skillet until it first begins to soften before baking.  That way the cabbage is nice and tender but doesn't get too mushy.

    Keep the carbs low by pairing this with a salad or some green veggies, or you can toast up some buttery bread to serve on the side.

    The eggs, cottage cheese, and chicken make this one protein-loaded and filling dinner entree.  It's also a great way to use up some leftover cooked chicken, or you can pick up a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store and that will do nicely.

      I just made this recipe. I added carrots and bell pepper and sprinkled feta on top. Such a deviation, I know. It was hearty and delicious on this chilly autumn day. My mate was extremely pleased with the way it turned out. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

        Can you replace cottage cheese and sour cream with “cream n’chicken soup”?

          I haven't tried that substitution myself, but that should work!

      I was looking for a new recipe to use up a cabbage I had left over in the fridge. I used a large chicken breast and shredded the meat. Used about 1/3 of the cabbage and all other ingredients. Baked as per instructions and we liked it alot. I think when I make it again I'll add some carrots or green beans for a little color!!

      For some reason, I ALWAYS have leftover cabbage in my fridge and never know what to do with it aside from making coleslaw. I love this idea - will definitely be giving this recipe a go 🙂

          Carmelized cabbage as a side dish goes with almost everything.
