Ingredients
Proteins
- 1 serving Just Bare chicken nuggets, air-fried
- 1 cup Good Culture cottage cheese
Sauce & Cheese
- 1/4 cup Rao’s marinara sauce
- 1/4 cup part-skim shredded mozzarella
Seasonings
- Italian seasoning, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the cheese mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the cottage cheese, marinara sauce, shredded mozzarella, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Stir thoroughly to blend all ingredients evenly.
- Heat the mixture: Microwave the bowl on high for 1 minute, stopping halfway through to stir. This ensures the cheese blends properly and the mixture heats evenly.
- Cut the chicken nuggets: Slice the air-fried Just Bare chicken nuggets into small, bite-sized pieces to incorporate easily into the bowl.
- Combine and melt: Stir the chopped chicken nuggets into the warmed cheese and sauce mixture. Return the bowl to the microwave and heat on high for another 30 seconds, or until the mozzarella is fully melted and bubbly. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Using part-skim shredded mozzarella reduces fat content while maintaining a creamy texture.
- Feel free to adjust the Italian seasoning and garlic powder to your personal taste preference.
- For a crispier texture, air-fry the chicken nuggets fresh before adding.
- This bowl can be served on its own or alongside a simple green salad for a complete meal.
- Microwave times may vary depending on your appliance; adjust accordingly to avoid overheating.
