Ingredients
- 1 serving blended cottage cheese
- 1 serving air-fried chicken
- Salt
- Pepper
- Onion powder
- Garlic powder
- Italian seasoning
- 1/4 cup italian cheese blend (mozzarella, provolone, parmesan, aago, fontina, romano)
- 1/4 cup marinara sauce
- Parsley
Step 1: Preheat and Season the Chicken
Begin by preheating your air fryer according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
While it heats up, season the chicken with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
Make sure the chicken is evenly coated with the spices for maximum flavor.
Step 2: Air Fry the Chicken
Once the air fryer is preheated, place the seasoned chicken inside and air fry until it is cooked through.
This usually takes about 15-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chicken.
Ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption.
Step 3: Prepare the Salad and Cottage Cheese
While the chicken is cooking, prepare a salad kit as a refreshing side dish.
Next, take one serving of blended cottage cheese and heat it in the microwave for a maximum of 30 seconds.
After heating, stir in Italian seasoning and garlic to enhance the flavor.
Step 4: Assemble the Dish
Top the warm cottage cheese with the freshly air-fried chicken.
Then sprinkle about 1/4 cup of a blend of Italian cheeses (such as mozzarella, provolone, parmesan, asiago, Fontina, and Romano) over the chicken.
Drizzle approximately 1/4 cup of marinara sauce over the cheese for added flavor.
Step 5: Melt the Cheese and Serve
Microwave the assembled bowl for an additional 15-20 seconds to warm everything up and melt the cheese slightly.
Once done, garnish with fresh parsley before serving to add a touch of color and freshness.
Enjoy your delicious, protein-packed meal!
