Ingredients
- 1 serving breaded chicken
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- ¼ cup marinara sauce
- ¼ cup mozzarella cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Cook the breaded chicken according to the package instructions, usually about 12-15 minutes until crispy and fully heated through. Alternatively, you can bake the chicken in the oven if preferred.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cottage cheese, marinara sauce, shredded mozzarella, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Microwave the cheese and sauce mixture on high for 1 minute. Stir halfway through heating to help the mozzarella start to melt and integrate with the other ingredients.
- Chop the cooked breaded chicken into bite-sized pieces and add it to the warmed cheese mixture. Stir thoroughly to coat the chicken evenly.
- Place the combined mixture back in the microwave for another 30-45 seconds to heat the chicken and blend flavors.
- Serve the chicken parm bowl immediately while hot. Enjoy a comforting, protein-rich meal with minimal carbs.
