Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

  3. While the chicken bakes, combine the low-fat cottage cheese and ranch dressing in a medium bowl until smooth and creamy.
  4. Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes, then cut it into bite-sized pieces and toss with warmed BBQ sauce until fully coated.
