Instructions
Making a BBQ Chicken Cottage Cheese Bowl is a breeze if you follow these steps:
1. Cook the Chicken: If you’re starting with raw chicken, grill or sauté until fully cooked, then shred it into bite-sized pieces. If using pre-cooked chicken, shred it directly.
2. Mix with BBQ Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with BBQ sauce. Ensure each piece is well coated. Set aside.
3. Prepare the Cottage Cheese Base: In a separate bowl, season the cottage cheese with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well so the flavors meld together.
4. Layer the Bowl: In a bowl (or meal prep container), start with a base of seasoned cottage cheese, then layer on the BBQ chicken, followed by chopped bell peppers and corn.
5. Garnish and Serve: Finish with chopped green onions and, if desired, fresh cilantro. Serve immediately.
