Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Chicken Parm Bowl
  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine creamy cottage cheese, zesty marinara sauce, and a generous sprinkle of mozzarella cheese. Add a dash of Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stirring halfway through until warm.
  2. While your cottage cheese mixture is warming, cut chicken nuggets into small, bite-sized pieces for uniform chunks.
  3. Add cut chicken pieces to the warm cottage cheese bowl. Stir gently to fold the nuggets into the mixture. Microwave for another 30 seconds or until mozzarella cheese is melting and the dish is steaming hot.
  4. Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave. Serve immediately in a cozy dish, garnished with extra herbs or cheese on top.
