This quick and easy dish is perfect for a healthy lunch or dinner with balanced flavors and simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 1 Just Bare (or similar) chicken filet

Dressings & Sauces

  • 2 tbsp Ranch dressing (Bolthouse Farms recommended)
  • 2 tbsp BBQ sauce (G.Hughes recommended)

Dairy

  • ½ cup low-fat cottage cheese (Good Culture brand recommended)
  • 2 tbsp shredded cheddar cheese, reduced fat

Instructions

  1. Cook the Chicken: Grill, bake, or pan-fry the chicken filet until fully cooked, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F. Cooking time varies with thickness, generally about 6-8 minutes per side.
  2. Prepare the Bowl: While the chicken cooks, scoop ½ cup of low-fat cottage cheese into a serving bowl as the base.
  3. Assemble the Bowl: Once the chicken is cooked through, slice it and place it atop the cottage cheese in the bowl. Drizzle the ranch dressing and BBQ sauce evenly over the chicken for flavor.
  4. Finish the Bowl: Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese over the assembled bowl for an added creamy, cheesy taste.
  5. Serve: Enjoy immediately while warm, or refrigerate for a convenient meal prep option the next day.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is fully cooked to 165°F for safety.
  • Substitute with any favorite ranch or BBQ brand if preferred.
  • For a low-carb option, this recipe is naturally suitable due to cottage cheese and chicken base.
  • Refrigerate leftovers promptly and consume within 24-48 hours.
  • Can be customized by adding fresh herbs or a side of steamed vegetables for extra nutrition.
