Serves 1.

3. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Chicken Parm Mozzarella Bread Sandwich Hack

• 100g shredded mozzarella, part skim
• 4 slices chicken deli meat
• 4 basil leaves
• 3 slices tomato
• 1 to 2 tbsp balsamic reduction drizzle
• 1/4 cup cottage cheese, low fat (less watery type)

1. Preheat the oven to broil.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Sprinkle the mozzarella into a thin square shape on the parchment.
4. Lay the chicken deli slices over the mozzarella in an even layer.
5. Broil for 5 to 7 minutes, until the mozzarella is fully melted, bubbly, and golden around the edges.
6. Let it cool for 2 to 3 minutes so the cheese firms up enough to fold.
7. Cut one slit from the center of the square down to the bottom edge, creating four foldable sections.
8. Add basil to one section, tomato to one section, cottage cheese to one section, and balsamic reduction to one section.
9. Fold each section over the next to form a square sandwich stack.
10. Eat whole or slice in half.

Tip: Use parchment paper or a non-stick mat — the cheese will stick to metal or glass.
