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
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Chop the cooked breaded chicken into bite-sized pieces and add it to the warmed cheese mixture. Stir thoroughly to coat the chicken evenly.
5. Place the combined mixture back in the microwave for another 30-45 seconds to heat the chicken and blend flavors.
6. Serve the chicken parm bowl immediately while hot. Enjoy a comforting, protein-rich meal with minimal carbs.
