    Hi there, this sounds so yummy! Do you really mean 3 lbs of chicken? That seems like a lot!

    I used 4 breasts and it does make a lot but it’s tweakable if you want to do less.

    Would it still be tasty without sweetener?

    I’m sure! Honey is an option too. It’s low carb so that won’t bring carbs up much

    Do you have a substitute for the cottage cheese to make it dairy free?
