👨🍳 Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Sauté the onions and garlic until fragrant and translucent (about 3–4 minutes).
3. In a large mixing bowl, stir together quinoa, cooked chicken, sautéed onions and garlic, spinach, diced tomatoes, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, paprika, pepper, and salt. Mix until well combined.
4. Fold in ¾ cup of the shredded mozzarella, reserving the rest for topping.
5. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of mozzarella over the top.
6. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Then uncover and bake for another 10–15 minutes, or until the top is melted and bubbly.
7. Let cool for 5 minutes before garnishing with chopped parsley or desired toppings.
8. Serve warm and enjoy the protein-packed comfort!
