  • Author: Luna
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
– 1 cup BBQ sauce
– 2 cups cottage cheese
– 1 cup chopped bell peppers (any color)
– 1 cup corn (fresh or canned)
– 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Optional: chopped fresh cilantro for garnish


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.

These easy steps guarantee a delicious and nutritious BBQ Chicken Cottage Cheese Bowl in no time!
