Chicken Parmesan Casserole
If you love the flavors and textures of chicken parm, and are a fan dump-and-go casseroles, you’ll fall head-over-heels for my chicken parmesan casserole recipe! Like the traditional recipe, I added the savory tomato sauce, melty mozzarella cheese, tender chicken, and pasta you crave with a crispy breadcrumb topping. It is easy to put together as a large dish for a crowd or to include in your weekly meal plan.
This chicken parmesan casserole is a simple yet satisfying Italian-inspired American comfort food recipe that combines zesty tomato sauce with tender pasta. But here I’m using juicy pieces of precooked chicken with melty mozzarella, plus a crispy breadcrumb and parmesan topping to give the casserole that “authentic” chicken parm feel. Best of all, this family-friendly meal is wildly easy to assemble and makes marvelous leftovers, so it’s perfect for your weeknight meal plan!
