Spoon 1 cup of cottage cheese into a shallow bowl and stir in the Italian seasoning, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
Heat the marinara sauce in a small saucepan until warm and simmering.
Lay sliced grilled chicken breast over the seasoned cottage cheese in an even layer.
Pour the warm marinara sauce over the chicken, spreading gently to cover.
Sprinkle 1 cup of mozzarella evenly on top of the sauce.
Add 1/4 cup of freshly grated Parmesan over the mozzarella.
Place the bowl under a broiler or in a hot oven until the cheese melts and begins to bubble and brown slightly.
Let the bowl rest for a minute, then finish with a crack of fresh pepper and an extra pinch of Italian seasoning if desired.
Serve warm, scooping layers so each bite includes cottage cheese, chicken, sauce, and melted cheese.

Use high-quality marinara for the best flavor; store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat when ready to eat.
