Mix the chicken mince, grated courgette, egg, dried sage, garlic granules and lots of black pepper in a bowl and season with salt
Line a baking tray with parchment or prep your air fryer basket
Use two spoons to shape the mixture into 4 patties roughly the size of your muffins
Bake at 220°C (200°C fan) for 12 minutes, flip, then bake 3-5 minutes more until browned on both sides and cooked through, or air fry at 200°C for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and cooked through
Mix the cottage cheese with the spring onions and chopped spinach, add black pepper and a pinch of salt if needed
Cut the muffins in half and spread the cottage cheese mix over the bottom halves
Add a chicken patty, top with a slice of cheese, then close with the muffin top and press down gently
Wrap each muffin tightly and store in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months
