In a microwave-safe bowl, combine cottage cheese, marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Stir until smooth.

Heat the mixture in the microwave on high for 1 minute, stirring halfway through.

Prepare chicken nuggets according to package instructions, typically 8-12 minutes until golden brown. Cut cooked nuggets into bite-sized pieces.

Gently fold the chopped chicken into the cheese mixture and microwave for an additional 30 seconds until hot and bubbly.

Serve over a bed of pasta or rice, garnished with extra cheese or herbs if desired.
