Ingredients
Scale
- 1 chicken filet
- ½ cup low-fat cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons reduced-fat cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Cook the chicken: Grill, bake, or pan-fry the chicken filet until fully cooked, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (about 6-8 minutes per side depending on thickness).
- Prepare the bowl: While the chicken is cooking, scoop ½ cup of low-fat cottage cheese into your bowl.

- Finish the bowl: Sprinkle the shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese on top for an added burst of flavor.
- Serve: Serve immediately or refrigerate for meal prep for the next day.
Notes
For the best flavors, let the cooked chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Experiment with different brands of BBQ sauce or ranch dressing for more flavor variety.
