In a microwave-safe bowl, combine cottage cheese, marinara sauce, and shredded mozzarella. Sprinkle in Italian seasoning and garlic powder to taste. Stir well.

Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute, stirring halfway through until the cheese begins to melt.

Air fry chicken nuggets at 400°F for 8–9 minutes until crispy. Cut into bite-sized pieces.

Fold the crispy chicken pieces into the warm cottage cheese mixture until evenly coated.

Return the combined mixture to the microwave for 30 seconds to melt the cheese further.

Scoop out and serve immediately with optional garnishes and sides.
