Directions

In a blender, whirl cottage cheese, evaporated milk, and cream cheese until completely smooth. Set aside 1/2 cup of this mixture for the sauce; refrigerate the remainder for another use.

Add the chicken breast halves to the skillet. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes.

Turn the chicken breasts over and continue to simmer covered for 5 minutes longer, or until chicken is cooked through.
-
Transfer the cooked chicken to a serving plate and cover to keep warm.
-
Stir the cornstarch-water mixture into the skillet liquid to thicken.

Add the reserved 1/2 cup cheese mixture to the skillet. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
