1. Season chicken with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper if not already seasoned.

2. If using raw chicken, cook in a skillet over medium heat with a little olive oil until golden brown and cooked through. Set aside.

3. Place cottage cheese in a bowl. For a smoother base, blend in a food processor for 15–20 seconds before transferring to bowl.

4. Layer cooked chicken on top of the cottage cheese, then spoon marinara sauce evenly over the chicken.

5. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the top.

6. Microwave the bowl for 60–90 seconds, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Alternatively, broil for 2–3 minutes until golden.

7. Garnish with chopped fresh basil or parsley if desired and serve hot.

Use full-fat cottage cheese for a creamier texture and richer flavor.

Pre-cooked rotisserie chicken makes this recipe even faster.

Add sautéed spinach or bell peppers for extra nutrients and color.

Top with toasted breadcrumbs or broil for a classic crispy finish.
