Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by shredding the cooked chicken breast using two forks or your hands. Aim for small, bite-sized pieces to maximize flavor absorption.

Create the Cottage Cheese Base
- In a serving bowl, take 1/2 cup of cottage cheese and spread it evenly across the bottom.
Assemble the Bowl
- Carefully layer the buffalo-coated chicken atop the cottage cheese.
Add Crunchy Veggies
- Sprinkle the finely diced celery and shredded carrots over the bowl.
Finish with a Ranch Drizzle
- Drizzle the tangy ranch dressing on top of your assembled bowl.
Serve & Enjoy
- Dig in immediately for a warm option, or store in an airtight container to enjoy later.
Notes
For an extra kick, consider adding a few slices of jalapeños or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes. If you are in a rush, rotisserie chicken can be a great substitute for cooked chicken breast. To make it more filling, serve over a bed of leafy greens like spinach or arugula. Experiment with different dipping sauces beyond ranch, such as blue cheese dressing.
