Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Start a pot of boiling water to cook the egg noodles.
Strain noodles when they are done. in an over-the-sink strainer.
In your pot, mix the pasta away from the heat and the butter and parmesan cheese.
In another pan, mix the chicken with the sauce and seasonings.
*Kepp the mozzarella cheese off to the side*
Mix the noodles with the sauce mixture until mixed well
Spray your baking pan with a nonstick spray. I made mine in a 2.5 Quart Pryex dish. I love that the lids make for easy storage of leftovers.
Spread the mixture into the pan.
Top the dish with mozzarella cheese.
Bake for 20 minutes until cheese is melted or freeze for later.

How To Store Chicken Parmesan Bake
Store in an air-tight container in the fridge and eat within 3 to 4 days. You can reheat in either the oven or microwave.
Storing leftovers properly requires the right tools! My preferred storage method is if the leftovers can be sealed in a food saver. If not, then an air-tight container or Ziploc bag for the fridge is the way I go. The air-tight container and a freezer Ziploc bag are the next best bet for freezing the leftovers. I also use a food scale to measure portions into serving sizes.
