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. 

Easy Chicken Parmesan Casserole Recipe Ingredients: 

• Barilla ProteinPlus Pasta Penne
• Barilla Marinara Sauce
• Water
• Chicken Breasts– You will want these to be thinner boneless skinless chicken breasts; I tend to buy the frozen, not fresh, ones for this dish.
• Panko Breadcrumbs
• Parmesan Cheese
• Mozzarella Cheese 

Barilla ProteinPlus Multigrain Pasta, Penne, 14.5 Ounce (Pack of 12)Barilla Pasta Sauce Variety Pack, 24 Ounce, 4 Jars

How To Make Chicken Parmesan Casserole: 

Preheat your oven to 425.

Pour in your water and Barilla ProteinPlus Pasta Penne into your casserole pan. 

Add in the Barilla Marinara Sauce and stir it up.

Place your chicken breasts on 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.

Put back in the oven uncovered for about 5 minutes till the cheese has melted and browned a bit 

Serve up and enjoy!!!
