Ingredients

Scale

¾ cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
2–3 tbsp buffalo wing sauce (no sugar added)
1 tsp ranch seasoning powder
¼ cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 serving grilled or air-fried chicken breast (chopped)
Chopped green onions (optional, for topping)

Instructions

Cook the Chicken: Grill or air-fry chicken breast until cooked through, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
Mix the Base: In a microwave-safe bowl, stir together cottage cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, shredded cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Microwave and Stir: Microwave the mixture for 1 minute, stirring halfway through, until warm and creamy.
Add the Chicken: Stir in the cooked chopped chicken, then microwave again for 30–45 seconds until heated through and melty.
Top and Serve: Garnish with green onions or serve with celery sticks or low-carb chips. Enjoy immediately!

Notes

For a smoother texture, blend the cottage cheese and buffalo sauce before mixing. Swap in Greek yogurt if desired. For extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne. This bowl also works great as a wrap filling or over cauliflower rice.
