Cheese and Sauce
- 1 cup Good Culture cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup Rao’s marinara sauce

Instructions
- Prepare the cheese mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the cottage cheese, marinara sauce, shredded mozzarella, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Stir the ingredients together to create a flavorful base for the bowl.
- Microwave the mixture: Place the bowl in the microwave and heat on high for 1 minute, stopping to stir halfway through. This helps the cheeses melt evenly and the flavors meld.
- Cut the chicken: Take the air-fried chicken nuggets and cut them into small, bite-sized pieces, making them easier to mix and enjoy in each spoonful.
- Combine and melt: Stir the cut chicken pieces into the cheese mixture, then microwave the bowl again on high for 30 seconds or until the mozzarella is fully melted and gooey.
- Serve and enjoy: Your Cottage Cheese Chicken Parm Bowl is now ready to eat. Enjoy it hot for the best taste and texture.

- Air-frying the chicken nuggets crisps them up without the need for extra oil.
- This bowl can be paired with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the microwave for quick meals later.
