Season and cook the chicken until tender. Shred with two forks in a large bowl.
In a blender, combine cottage cheese and mayonnaise. Blend until smooth.
Add the smooth cottage cheese mixture to the shredded chicken.
Add grapes, celery, lemon juice, oregano, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and onion powder. Mix well.
