Chicken Parmesan Casserole With Pasta
Chicken Parmesan Casserole With Pasta
Ingredients
• 1 small rotisserie chicken (pulled into small pieces) I used 1 can of chicken breast
• 1/2 lb pasta (about 3 cups dry)
• 1 (24oz) jar marinara or spaghetti sauce
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan
• 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
• 2 tbsp melted butter
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
• Preheat your oven to 350° F and grease a medium size baking dish (I used a 8X8 dish).
• In a large pan or pot, cook and drain the pasta according the package directions.
• Place the drained pasta back into the pot and mix with the marinara sauce, chicken, HALF of the mozzarella, HALF of the parmesan, and 1-2 tsp of Italian seasoning.
• Allow the mixture to simmer for a few minutes over medium-low heat and then spread it evenly onto the bottom of your baking dish; sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and parmesan cheese over top.
• In a small bowl, mix together the panko bread crumbs, melted butter and garlic powder; sprinkle it evenly over the top of the casserole.
• Bake uncovered on the center rack for about 15 minutes or until the panko crust turns golden brown.
• Serve alone or with salad, veggies and/or breadsticks. Enjoy!
