Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 piece Just Bare chicken filet
- ½ cup low-fat cottage cheese (Good Culture brand recommended)
- 2 tbsp Ranch dressing (Bolthouse Farms recommended)
- 2 tbsp BBQ sauce (G.Hughes recommended)
- 2 tbsp shredded cheddar cheese, reduced fat
Instructions
Preparation
- 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.
- Assemble the bowl: Once the chicken is cooked, slice it, and add it on top of the cottage cheese. Drizzle the ranch dressing and BBQ sauce over the chicken.
- 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
Use a meat thermometer to check the chicken’s doneness. Feel free to swap the cottage cheese for Greek yogurt for a different texture. Add extra veggies like corn or black beans for added nutrition. Make sure to let the chicken rest for a few minutes after cooking for best results. Adjust the amount of BBQ sauce and ranch dressing according to your taste preference.
