Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cook your chicken breast using your preferred method: bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes, boil for about 15 minutes, or grill for 6-8 minutes per side until cooked through.
  2. While the chicken is cooling, prepare the vegetables: dice the celery, slice the green onions, and chop the jalapenos.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, diced celery, sliced green onions, chopped jalapenos, crispy bacon, cottage cheese, and cheddar cheese. Fold gently until evenly mixed.
  4. In a blender, gather the dressing ingredients: sour cream, lime juice, garlic salt, and onion powder. Blend until smooth and creamy, tasting to adjust seasoning.
  5. Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and gently toss until evenly coated. Serve on greens, in wraps, or on low-carb bread.
