Thank goodness for casseroles, there are nights that they are the only reason we have something homemade on the table for a meal! Pasta is always one of those foods that all three kids love to eat, and let’s face it pasta is amazing! We decided to make up a Chicken Parmesan Casserole and not to worry it is amazing, plus a huge hit with the whole family.

How To Make Chicken Parmesan Casserole:
Preheat your oven to 425
Pour in your water and Barilla ProteinPlus Pasta Penne into the pan
Add in the Barilla Marinara Sauce and stir it up.
Place your chicken breasts on top of the water, sauce, and pasta combination.
Wrap your pan tightly with aluminum foil, this will help to trap in moisture for the pasta and the chicken to cook.
Bake for about 30-45 minutes till the pasta is tender I started checking it at 30 minutes
Remove from the oven and add on the Mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, and sprinkle with some garlic salt with parsley

Serve up and enjoy!!!

This looks really good and much easier them regular chicken parm. Do you think it can be made ahead and frozen up to Step 4. Then thawed and baked? I see this as a great make ahead meal for weekdays.
