In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of cottage cheese, 1 cup of marinara sauce, and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese. Add ½ teaspoon of Italian seasoning and ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder, stirring everything until well mixed.

Microwave the bowl on high for 1 minute, stirring halfway through for even heating.

While the cheese mixture is warming, air fry or bake chicken nuggets according to the package instructions, aiming for a crispy outer layer.

Add the chopped chicken nuggets to the warmed cottage cheese mixture and stir gently.

Return the combination to the microwave for an additional 30 seconds to melt the mozzarella over the chicken.

Transfer to serving plates and optionally garnish with fresh herbs.
