You’re Used To Seeing The Traditional Chicken Parmesan, But We Prefer It This Way Instead!

Whenever I make this casserole I always make my own Marinara sauce because I feel like it's fresher. Besides; that way I can add some extra garlic. The original recipe says to use a jar, whatever method you use is up to you!

Let's Get Started…

Ingredients To Gather:

4 cups fully-cooked chicken, shredded or cubed

1 jar (28 ounces) of marinara sauce

½ cup shredded or grated Parmesan cheese

1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup panko or whole wheat bread crumbs

1-2 tablespoons olive oil

fresh, chopped herbs (parsley, basil, oregano, etc), to taste

salt and pepper, to taste

The Instructions To Follow:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Grease an 8×8 casserole dish with cooking spray.

Layer the chicken in the bottom. Dump in the marinara sauce and mix with the chicken. Next, top with both cheeses until all the chicken is covered.

In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, olive oil, fresh herbs and a dash of salt and pepper together.

Sprinkle the seasoned breadcrumbs over the top.

Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until golden on top and bubbling on the sides.

Finished!

This Makes An Excellent Freezer-Meal For Those Days When You Just Want To Toss Something In The Oven & Then You're Done. The Best Part About This Chicken Parmesan Is That It Takes Half The Time To Prep & Cook Than Your Traditional Recipe.

Happy Cooking & Enjoy Ya'll!
