Description

Creamy cottage cheese gets a savory makeover with shredded chicken and crunchy bacon, all brightened by classic ranch herbs. Ready in minutes, this protein-rich bowl works great for a quick lunch, a post-workout refuel, or make-ahead meal prep.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 160 g cottage cheese
  • 60 g shredded chicken (hot or cold)
  • 2 cooked bacon strips, chopped
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp dried parsley
  • ½ tsp dried chives
  • ½ tsp dried dill
  • ¼ tsp onion powder
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper
  • Pinch of salt


Instructions

  1. Put the cottage cheese into a mixing bowl. Add garlic powder, parsley, chives, dill, onion powder, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the herbs are evenly distributed and the mixture tastes balanced.
  2. If you prefer warm toppings, heat the shredded chicken and chopped bacon in the microwave for 30–60 seconds; otherwise use them cold.
  3. Spoon the seasoned cottage cheese into a serving bowl. Top with the shredded chicken and scatter the bacon pieces over the top.
  4. Serve immediately. Mix everything together for an even flavor, or leave layers intact for a prettier presentation.

Notes

Quick tip: For extra creaminess, fold in a small drizzle of olive oil or a spoonful of plain Greek yogurt.
