Ingredients
  

  • Boneless skinless chicken breast
  • Low-fat cottage cheese
  • Ranch dressing
  • Reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
  • BBQ sauce

Method
 

  1. Cook the chicken: Bake or grill the chicken breast at 400°F (200°C) for about 20 minutes or until fully cooked. Let it rest before slicing.
  2. Mix the cottage cheese base: In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese and ranch dressing until smooth and creamy.
  3. Coat the chicken: Toss the sliced chicken in BBQ sauce until evenly coated.
  4. Assemble the bowl: Layer the cottage cheese mixture at the bottom of a serving bowl. Add the BBQ chicken on top and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Drizzle with extra BBQ sauce if desired and serve warm.

Notes

    • Swap chicken for rotisserie chicken to save time.
    • Use Greek yogurt instead of ranch dressing for a tangier twist.
    • Adjust the BBQ sauce for a spicier or sweeter flavor profile.
    • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
