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

Microwave the combined ingredients on high for 1 minute, stirring after 30 seconds until cheese is melted and mixture is warm.

Air-fry chicken nuggets according to package instructions, typically around 10-12 minutes. Check at 8 minutes to prevent overcooking.

Add cooked and cut chicken nuggets to the warmed cottage cheese mixture, tossing gently to coat evenly. Microwave for an additional 30 seconds.

Stir the mixture again and transfer to serving bowls. Optionally, sprinkle extra mozzarella on top before serving.
