In the video, Keathley put a cup of low-fat cottage cheese in a bowl and topped it with a quarter cup of cheddar cheese.
The third and final ingredient was four ounces of blackened chicken strips, which she cooked in a deep fryer at 400 degrees for about eight minutes.
After adding the chicken to the mixture, she stirred it and was ready to eat.
‘That’s all! Takes 10 minutes to make and keeps me full for so long! she concludes.
Keathley’s video has been viewed more than 248,000 times and received nearly 200 comments since it was posted on July 6.

“I’m actually eating this for lunch this week,” someone else added. “Definitely a favorite and I thought I didn’t like cottage cheese!”
