Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 grilled chicken filet (e.g., Just Bare or similar, ~5 oz)

  • 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese (e.g., Good Culture brand)

  • 2 tablespoons ranch dressing (e.g., Bolthouse Farms)

  • 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce (e.g., G. Hughes brand)

  • 2 tablespoons shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese


Instructions

  • Grill or heat the chicken filet according to package directions or your preferred method.

  • In a bowl, place the chicken filet as the base.

  • Top with cottage cheese, then drizzle ranch dressing and BBQ sauce over the top.

  • Sprinkle with shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese.
