1/4 cup ranch seasoning or dressing (alcohol-free)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg (beaten)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C)

In a bowl, mix cottage cheese, cream cheese, buffalo sauce, and ranch seasoning until smooth
Spoon the cheese mixture into an 8×8-inch baking dish

Whisk egg into flour and pour mixture over the chicken

Sprinkle breadcrumbs, salt, and garlic powder evenly

Notes
Use a pork-free buffalo sauce to ensure halal compliance
Ranch dressing is a richer alternative to dry seasoning
Bake longer if bread crumbs burn too quickly
Make ahead by assembling and refrigerating up to 24 hours before baking
