A protein-rich bowl with pan-seared chicken, creamy cottage cheese, and a tangy BBQ-ranch drizzle.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 chicken filet (6–8 oz, about 1″ thick)
  • 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 2 tbsp ranch dressing
  • 2 tbsp BBQ sauce
  • 2 tbsp reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp neutral oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet over medium and add 1 tsp neutral oil. Pat the chicken filet dry and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Place the chicken in the hot pan and cook undisturbed for 6–7 minutes on the first side.
  3. Flip the chicken and cook another 4–5 minutes until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  4. Remove the chicken and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes.
  5. Scoop 1/2 cup cottage cheese into your serving bowl and let it sit at room temperature for up to 10 minutes.
  6. Whisk together 2 tbsp ranch dressing and 2 tbsp BBQ sauce in a small bowl.
  7. Slice the rested chicken against the grain into strips and arrange over the cottage cheese.
  8. Drizzle the ranch-BBQ mixture on top and finish with 2 tbsp reduced-fat shredded cheddar. Serve immediately.

Notes

For fewer carbs, use a sugar-free BBQ sauce. Substitute cottage cheese with Greek yogurt or skyr for a high-protein option.
