This Easy Chicken Parmesan Casserole Recipe is perfect for saving on a crazy weeknight.  Isn’t it amazing how much things ever slow down at all? I know as the kids have gotten older, it is just busy, busy, busy.

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.

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.

    I am intrigued with the idea of cooking the pasta right in the pan with all the other ingredients! Pinned.

    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.
