A comforting Chicken Parmesan Casserole that combines chicken, pasta, and cheese in a hearty, one-dish meal perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cups cooked pasta (e.g., penne or rotini)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add the shredded chicken, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and warm through, cooking for about 5 minutes.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, marinara sauce, half of the Parmesan cheese, and half of the mozzarella cheese. Stir until combined.
  5. Fold in the seasoned chicken until evenly mixed.
  6. Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.
  8. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  9. Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  10. Allow to cool for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh basil or parsley, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

For extra cheesiness, consider adding a layer of cheese in the middle of the dish. For more flavor, sauté onions or bell peppers with the chicken. Rotisserie chicken is a great shortcut if you’re short on time.
