Chicken Parmesan Casserole
Chicken Parmesan CasseroleThis easy baked Chicken Parmesan Casserole is the perfect weeknight dinner for the family! With tender chicken, hearty pasta, and a cheesy topping, you’ll be adding it to your monthly meal plan!
One of my favorite dishes to eat since I was a child is Chicken Parmesan. It is my go-to at restaurants where nothing else is jumping out at me or if my “mommy brain” has taken over and I would rather just order something than make a decision. You know how it is!
A casserole is always an easier way to go because you get to put all of the ingredients in one dish, set it in the oven, and wait for the timer to beep. That means more time for all of the other millions of things that you are hoping to get done in the evening.
This Chicken Parmesan Casserole is a healthy option without all of the breading and frying. It is quick and easy to make and you will have it ready to bake in 10 minutes!
With minimal prep work, you’ll have an incredibly family friendly dish that everyone will love. It is easy, delicious, and always reliable!
If you are looking for a fun dessert to add to your meal, my Salted Caramel Triscuits and Nutella Banana Dessert Egg Rolls are fantastic option!
Chicken Parmesan Casserole Recipe
Ingredients:
1 box linguine pasta 10 oz
1 tsp olive oil
1 lb. chicken breasts (usually around 3)
1 cup mozzarella cheese
1 jar tomato basil sauce 24 oz (or marinara if preferred)
1 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
salt, pepper and garlic powder as desired
Set a large pot of water to boil and cook your pasta until al dente. This will be about 9 minutes. Turn off the heat.
Drain your noodles in a colander and return them to the pot. Mix in 1 tsp of olive oil so that the noodles don’t stick to each other. Set aside.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Cut the chicken breasts in half horizontally, so that you are cutting along the thickness, not the length.
Season all of the pieces of chicken with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
In a greased 9×13 baking dish, pour in the linguine. Spread your pasta evenly along the bottom.
Place all of the chicken pieces directly on top of the pasta.
Top the chicken with your pasta sauce. I use a tomato basil, but you can substitute this with straight marinara if you prefer.
Sprinkle your parmesan cheese on top of the sauce. Top this with the mozzarella cheese.
Top your cheese with Italian seasoning, making sure to sprinkle it evenly across the casserole.
Bake in the oven for 30 – 35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.
Once done, remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit for 10 minutes to let everything rest. Serve and enjoy!
